Comment 2 for bug 1439730

Reading bug #688986, which dealt with the same problem I'm facing, but which was closed as 'Invalid', I tried another experiment:

1. Created profile 'mp3 extreme' (excerpt from ~/.kde/share/apps/soundkonverter/profiles.xml):

<conversionOptions profile="User defined" profileName="mp3 extreme" pluginName="lame" codecName="mp3">
  <encodingOptions qualityMode="0" bitrate="160" compressionLevel="2" bitrateMode="0" quality="5" cmdArguments="--id3v2-only">
  <data presetFast="0" presetBitrate="192" presetBitrateCbr="0" preset="2"/>
  </encodingOptions>
  <outputOptions outputFilesystem="" outputDirectoryMode="1" outputDirectory=""/>
  <features replaygain="0"/>
 </conversionOptions>

2. Run soundkonverter from the command line, specifying --profile, --format and --output, even though it didn't make sense to me having to specify --format and --output since the profile already has this information:

paulo@monk:~/stage/bin$ soundkonverter --profile 'mp3 extreme' --format mp3 --output ~/stage/edit/ --autostart ~/stage/edit/CoplanTowner-song_flac/MARC\ COPLAND\ \&\ RALPH\ TOWNER\ -\ Song\ Without\ End\ \(1994\).flac/*.flac

The results couldn't be weirder: the conversion was done automatically as expected, but the files were converted to ogg, even though both --profile and --format specify mp3.
