After some discussion with fenrir, I decided to change the transcode syntax 
again so we don't need to break it once more after the 0.7.2 release.
The new syntax allows one to force the encoder as well as passing encoder 
specific options to it.

Here is what it looks like:
#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,aenc=ffmpeg{encoder_specific_options},vcodec=mp4v,vb=1000,venc=ffmpeg{encoder_specific_options}}

The aim here is also to make aenc/venc optional when acodec/vcodec is 
specified and vice-versa. For instance some encoder plugins support only 1 
codec so specifying aenc/venc makes acodec/vcodec completely useless.
Specifying only acodec/vcodec also makes it easy on the user who doesn't 
want to bother with the implementation details (which encoder supports 
which codec, etc...).
