Soundconverter 2.1.2, in gstreamer.py, line 668 and 669:
def add_opus_encoder(self):
return 'opusenc bitrate=%s cbr=false ! oggmux' % (self.opus_quality *
1000)
Adding cbr=false seemed to result in a different output.
Encoded on Ubuntu 13.10 (unsure whether soundconverter 2.1.2 from source is
using gstreamer 0.10 or 1.0), before adding cbr=false:

However using opusenc (opus-tools 0.1.8) with --bitrate=128, I get a different
file again:
$ opusinfo 03\ -\ North\ Bound.flac.opus

Anyway, the different size/bitrate files might be due to opus version. But, was
it really that simple to just add cbr=false?
