Now I don't know think it was "stalled" - I started gtkpod from a 
terminal, so gtkpod won't release that terminal (and give me a shell 
prompt (if that's what it's called)) until I quit gtkpod. Another reason 
I don't think the .ogg conversion stalled is that I found a conversion 
output display in the gtkpod interface and it showed that the conversion 
was at 100% (which I assume means it completed).
