Or in other words, while Vorbis allows variable codebooks, currently the 
codebook is constant over all of the encoded files. It's an average case 
codebook, statically compiled against a typical training set of tracks, 
not something that is adapted separately to each and every encoded 
track. Adapting the codebook on the fly would be something of a research 
challenge.
