<h1>vorbis_encode_init_vbr</h1>

<p><i>declared in "vorbis/vorbisenc.h";</i></p>

<p>This is the primary function within libvorbisenc for setting up variable bitrate ("quality" based) modes.
<p>Before this function is called, the <a href="../libvorbis/vorbis_info.html">vorbis_info</a> struct should be initialized by using vorbis_info_init() from the libvorbis API.  After encoding, vorbis_info_clear should be called.
<p>
