qaac: Command Line Options Options

[Sylph]

Does anybody know where can one find the command line options for qaac?

http://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/cabinet

And perhaps a guide how to set it up in EAC?

Thanks!

I found this page (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154233) on the net, but they only work with foobar for me, i would like to know how to set it with dbpoweramp or EAC, because with dbpoweramp i get encode errors.
