Vorbis - Oct 2002 - Reencode ogg/vorbis stream/file with lower bitrate?

Greetings to all,

It's been rumored that subj is possible, even with no decoding/encoding 
the .ogg file, but simply throwing out some information from it. I just 
wonder: is it really possible, and if yes, if there some software 
capable of doing this?

The good news is, yes, this is no rumor and well possible (this feature
is called "peeling"). The bad news is that no tools to do so have been
written, yet (except for some proof-of-concept stuff). That means, we
all have to wait..
