Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: soundconverter

Ubuntu 11.04, i386
SoundCoverter creates corrupted OGG files

# soundconverter -V
SoundConverter 1.4.4
  using Gstreamer version: 0.10.32, Python binding version: 0.10.21
  using gio
Error:  option -V not recognized

I wanted to convert my audio CD to OGG files.
I used AUDEX application to extract CD to FLAC files (AUDEX doesn't offer 
direct conversion to OGG)
I used SoundConverter to convert FLAC files to OGG files. Some OGG songs were 
played in strange way with VLC player so I decided to check them with different 
audio players. I found that OGG files created by SoundConverter are corrupted.

Conversion flow:
audio CD -> FLAC -> OGG

In short; you can use "ogginfo" to check OGG file for a corruption. This
is an output for corrupted OGG file, notice WARNINGS in the command
output:

# ogginfo -V
ogginfo from vorbis-tools 1.4.0

# ogginfo 06_Deux_Branle.ogg 
Processing file "06_Deux_Branle.ogg"...

A bonus. Simple script to check your OGG collection for errors:

find /srv/audio/ogg/ -type f -name "*ogg" | while read F; do ogginfo -qq
$F >/dev/null || echo "ERR $?: $F"; done
