just in case anyone's perusing the list archives and wonders how this
story ended, grip does use oggenc, as shown, to insert vorbis comments for
ARTIST, TITLE, ALBUM, etc., even when instructed to add neither id3v1 nor
id3v2 tags. rockbox (20060821 build) does display those under "show ID3
info". i shall only make uncorrupted oggs in future.

many thanks to sander for his help.
