You're right, the man page should say that you'll get ogg files. For a list of the encoders supported, that's also in the man page. It says in the first paragraph: Jack works with several encoders, namely oggenc, flac, lame, gogo, bladeenc, l3enc, mp3enc and xing. As far as I know, the only ones on that list included in debian are flac and oggenc. I am unaware of any way to make jack tell you which encoders it thinks it can find the binaries for. The attached patch changes the man page to reflect the fact that jack produces oggs by default.
