I think that was already beaten into the ground last week or two weeks
ago. It seems unlikely that the aoTuV tunings will be folded into
the reference encoder library.
However, there's nothing at all preventing you from compiling the new
library yourself and using it. You can even arrange it so that it
coexists peacefully with the standard Vorbis libraries (on any decent
OS). Since your Message-ID indicates a Linux box:
1) Get aoTuV source and extract it.
2) ./configure --prefix=/somewhere
3) make
4) sudo make install # or equivalent; you may not even need to be root,
# depending on where your --prefix is
5) To use standard Vorbis, continue using oggenc.
6) To use aoTuV, use "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/somewhere/lib oggenc". You can
write a wrapper script for this if you wish.
Real example:
griffon:/tmp$ oggenc -q 4 -o 01-vorbis.ogg 01.wav
Opening with wav module: WAV file reader
Encoding "01.wav" to
"01-vorbis.ogg"

Note: my ears, and/or hardware, aren't nearly good enough to tell the
difference between Xiph.org and aoTuV at this quality level. They both
sound good to me.
