02plongerdanslatorpeur.ogg: Ogg data, Vorbis audio, stereo, 44100 Hz, ~64000 bps

  ffmpeg -v trace -i ./02plongerdanslatorpeur.ogg -c:a libvorbis -b:a 44999 test5.ogg
fails citing "Error initializing output stream 0:0". According to ogg vorbis mailing list <=44999 bps bitrate is fine ( http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/vorbis/2005-August/025904.html )

  ffmpeg -v trace -i ./02plongerdanslatorpeur.ogg -c:a libvorbis -b:a 45000 test5.ogg
and above succeeds.

I believe libvorbis does not support encoding at 44kHz with < 22500 bits/s/channel. If you want to reduce the bitrate that much then you'll have to resample your audio at a lower rate (use -ar <sample rate>).

This isn't an issue with ffmpeg itself. oggenc also fails, so you should ask upstream at Xiph for an explanation. If you want such low bitrates I suggest using Opus audio instead (which your ffmpeg supports).
