Well what happens is the wav file, though lossless, contains only the quality 
of the original ogg source.  The subsequent wav->ogg conversion further 
degrades the ogg quality.  I guess, if it was important enough, (see comment 
on iPod sound quality), I could just delete the ogg files and re-rip the cds 
that I encoded from the original flac sources.

Thanks, this looks promising.
