Description Dave Flogeras 2005-01-26 03:08:02 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.4.3 AMD64
OS:                Linux

Very similar to 52568:

the ogg vorbis kio settings in control center allow you to specify a variable bitrate, and set the average bitrate, but you cannot set the min and max bitrates.

My iRiver MP3/OGG player only plays OGGs that are higher than 96 kBps, so I would find this option useful.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Hi, it is indeed still missing this functionality.  See the min/max/average bitrate settings available in the MP3 encoding tab (under variable bitrate) in system-settings for what I think is missing from the OGG encoder.  (I checked this using current audiocd-kio-18.04.3 package on Gentoo today)

That being said, I personally don't own the hardware I initially wanted this feature for, and there may be manpower/technical reasons this was never looked into.  You wont hurt my feelings if you just close it :)
