The Vorbis encoder could not set up a mode according to the requested quality or bitrate.

I built ffmpeg2theora from SVN, using libogg 1.1.4, libvorbis 1.2.3  
and Thusnelda from SVN. Running ffmpeg2theora --help reports that  
ffmpeg2theora accepts a range of -2 to 10 for the --audioquality  
option and a bitrate of 32 to 500 for the --audiobitrate option, but  
it doesn't appear to actually accept any of the low end numbers.

It appears that the lowest acceptable value for  --audioquality is -1  
and the lowest acceptable value for --audiobitrate is 45.

Anyone know what's up?
