That would have been me (probably) that was trying that out.
Thanks. I circumvented the issue by plugging my music player
(which plays ogg, flac, avi etc) into the audio-in on the
stereo, and that works just as well, except I have to define
the playlist before I start driving.

Maybe in 5 years or so when I get a new car, they'll have ogg
playback by default.
