 While it is true that tremor is usually faster because it is an
 integer-only codec, afaik xiph.org still considers libvorbis to be
 superior in quality. Maybe they will switch to tremor as the default
 vorbis engine sooner or later when it has reached the same level but
 until it does, I prefer libvorbis. So maybe adding this asaan option
 is the way to go?
