>> I'm encoding my audio files to opus, with the following command:
>>> ffmpeg -i test.mp3 -acodec libopus -b:a 64000 -vbr on test.opus

>> However, encoding my file with an ogg extension :
>>> ffmpeg -i test.mp3 -acodec libopus -b:a 64000 -vbr on test.ogg
>> produces a different file from the previous one (md5 are mismatched).

To elaborate:
The ogg files contain a serial number if the option is not specified,
this serial number is created with a function producing pseudo-random
numbers.
