0x24: Ogg/Vorbis audio decoder support
Status: Todo    Urgency: Wishlist   Difficulty: Guru

Description: The Ogg/Vorbis audio format is a free alternative to
the patent-encumbered MP3 format. The system packets are quite
different than the MPEG ones, so adding support for it would require
a lot of code rewrite.


The Ogg/Vorbis codec is already multiplatform and is very simple to
add as a static or dynamic library in Linux and Windows (even Mac OS
X?). You don't have to write a decoder yourself, just use the
functions in libogg and libvorbis to open, decode, and give VLC
formatted PCM output for playback.

------------

Also-- What prevents VLC from playing VCD on Windows? What code
needs to be written for that support?
