Audacity does not contain ogg vorbis dll.

It seems that the OggVorbis code used in Audacity is v 1.5 and was last worked on by Richard Ash in 2008.

ok sorry about that.
When I checked the other day a file which I created with audacity MediaInfo Lite it said
that the ogg vorbis version is from 2007- not 2001 sorry again.
libVorbis 1.2 (UTC 2007-06-22)
anyway it seems if I want to update the vorbis dll I guess I have to recompile the package.
Or is there some other less hairer way?
Or has it something to do with the ffmpegplugin?
Thx again for any help.

Audacity does not use the ogg vorbis dll.
The ogg vorbis library is built into Audacity, not as a separate dll.

Yes there's probably a less hairy way.
Audacity can use external encoders (I've not actually tried using an external OggVorbis encoder, but I think it should work). See here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Expo ... al_Program

I don't think we've yet got any specific examples for Ogg encoding, but you will find some other examples here: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 28&t=53220
