     20 <p>This is the primary function within libvorbisenc for setting up managed bitrate modes.
     21 <p>Before this function is called, the <a href="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.
     22 <p>The max_bitrate, nominal_bitrate, and min_bitrate settings are used to set constraints for the encoded file.  This function uses these settings to select the appropriate encoding mode and set it up.
