Converting FLAC to OGGVorbis is poor

[riban]

I have configured my Android phone as an external device to Banshee to encode as OGG Vorbis quality 3. My music library is stored as FLAC on a remote NFS server. When I drag a file from the library to the phone, Banshee converts the FLAC to OGG Vorbis and adds it to the phone but the resulting file has errors resulting in clicks and mutes. I have done the same process manually using the command:

flac -d -c source_file_name.flac | oggenc q3 -oPathToPhoneSDCard/filename.ogg -

and the result is a good OGG Vorbis file so the mechanism for creating the file on the phone from the nfs share works okay.

I am using Banshee 2.2.1 on Ubuntu 11.10 with flac 1.2.1 and oggenc from vorbis-tools 1.4.0.

This issue means I can not use Banshee to synchronise my phone's audio from my master library.

I have this exact same problem. The choices to transcode to options are all messed up. Same with Rhythmbox, can't even select Ogg Vorbis there.
