Algorithms.

VBR/ABR allows to modify the amount of kbit/sec depending on the actual
need of the signal. With '-b' you set a minimum bitrate. So if the
encoder thinks the actual part of a song can be encoded in 32kbit/sec,
but you use '-b 96' he will use 96kbit/sec instead of 32kbit/sec for the
actual part.

--alt-preset modifies some values which can't get modified with other
cmmand line switches, so you can't override everything.
