There does seem to be a distinct lack of interest about ogg, even
though it provides the absolute quality of the audiophiles.
I was shocked to hear on the first open source r4 discussion them
claiming that there was no viable open source streaming standard,
icecast (and relative encoder) is proof that it works.
Though I only recently realised that ogg also supports video, it's
filled with such niceties.
