[lug] volume level in mp3/ogg files

[Hugh Brown]

I think this is what I will do.  I am going to hack my little perl script
to grab the wav file from cdda2wav check it against sox, have sox pump up
the volume and then oggenc it.

I played with it this morning and it was very nice, I now have no more
excuses not to get all of my CD's into ogg format.
