   @lostnbronx Are you kidding me?

   speexenc was a HORRIBLE command.

   speex sounds terrible at the same file size as opus.

   I'm glad to be rid of it. Maybe it's great in telephony (maybe not; I don't know) but it has no place in my heart or my feed.

   Sorry, didn't mean to lash out, but basically I feel stupid for having held out for so long.

     It's 2 days old; expect improvements/changes, but basically:

     $ mkenc.sh --help

     # gen ogg,opus,speex,m4a from foo.flac:
     $ mkenc.sh foo.flac

     # gen only ogg (or opus, etc):
     $ mkenc.sh --ogg-only foo.flac

     #gen all but aac (or opus, etc):
     $ mkenc.sh --no-aac foo.flac

     There some options here and there (bitrate, etc). I also force a mixdown to mono, hardcoded, because podcasts in stereo are dumb.

     Requires:
     sox, fdk_aac (or other), opusenc, speexenc, oggenc

     @klaatu @lostnbronx Tell me why podcasts in stereo are dumb.  In interviews stereo is great to pan people left and right to simulate a room.
