Please do not discuss OPUS. Most hw players have no opus support, thus
it is not an option.

Also, we will not drop kino because cinallera is better.

Make existing software as good as possible, as long as it has its
purpose. Vorbis definitely has one.

Please merge the current patch sets.

Bug description:
  Would be nice to include aoTuV [1] Release 1 patch to libvorbis. aoTuV is an improved libvorbis encoder, that, while keeping ABI compatibility, gives many improvement:
  * better quality at all bitrates versus libvorbis-1.1.2 [2], giving aoTuV better quality than other codec (AAC, MP3, MPC, WMA, ...) [3];
  * support of quality down to -2 (32kb/s at 44kHz stereo), versus -1 (45kb/s at 44kHz stereo) of libvorbis-1.1.x;
  * encoding speed 10% better thanks to the included Vorbis-OptSort patch (improve ordering loop);

  aoTuV Release 1 have just been releases. aoTuV Release 1 is the same
  as of beta4.51 (released on 2005-11), renamed after a lot of testing
  of the audio community (especially on hydrogenaudio forum [4]) and
  this is the reccomended vorbis encoder [5].
