Hm, if it wasn't for snow, "(default: disabled)" would have just be fine..

Ok, I give it another try:

In case of snow codec, value 0 means lossless encoding.
Since the other codecs do not support this, vqscale=0 will be ignored
and variable quantizers are used.

?

Heh, we'll get something usable sooner or later ;)
