thus far:

- I tried ac3 and it seems ok to me - VLC can playback with no problems
- I haven' t yet managed to encode to AAC - I get an error that libfaac is 
missing when using ffmpeg and audacity refuses to find the proper library - 
still looking for some other encoder
- I easily encoded to flac with sox but the size is huge and thus totally 
inadequate for my purposes
- ogg vorbis encode fine with sox but VLC crashes..

so 2 questions:

1. what are the right settings for a HQ quad ac3 ?? I used 44.100 and 192k 
which sounds ok - but then I don' t have very good speakers to be sure - let 
aside the file is pretty small which means I can afford higher nitrates
2. What' s the verdict of an aac vs ac3 comparison ???
