dear fellow ogg-user, i fear i may have to confirm that using *non-reference* (as in: not released by xiph.org) vorbis encoders can cause playback problems.
i generally use SJeng's OggEncGTune3b1 encoder, which i find to have superior sound quality at *high* bitrates. unfortunately, that encoder has allowed the bitrate so soar to ~500-600 kbits peak on some of my tracks and to ~350 kbits average. these tracks cause my SB3 to choke. (reproduceable) my solution: re-code those tracks in FLAC (since at that bitrate flac is not really that much larger) and/or turn off the visualization screensavers. seriously, it seems my SB3 was just running out of CPU cycles! and vorbis is *very* CPU-intensive... luckily, only about 5 of my 3000 tracks seem to be affected, so i dont worry too much. as you said: other tracks sound fantastic! and after all - its my fault.
