This changes the transcode MRL syntax. Here what the new syntax look like.
#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,aopts{encoder_specific_options},vcodec=mp4v,vb=1000,scale=0.5,vopts{encoder_specific_options}}

You can now find all the available transcode options in the preferences 
panel or with: "vlc -p stream_out_transcode --advanced"

You can also find all the encoder specific options in the preferences panel 
or with: "vlc -p encoder_name --advanced" (where encoder_name can be 
ffmpeg, vorbis, etc...).

I would personnaly prefer a syntax that would allow one to specify which 
encoder module to use instead of just the codec (in case several encoders 
support the codec.). Something like:
#transcode{acodec=ffmpeg{acodec=mp3,foo=value,bar=value},ab=128,channels=2}
But this is not material for 0.7.2 anyway ;)
