Codec Buddy is a great step/improvement here.  I like the idea of
confronting the situation head-on, proactively.  Pages on the Wiki and
pointing at them after someone complains is reactive.

Now I want a t-shirt that says:

"Fedora - protect yourself from mental slavery"

Nope.  What can we do for people?  What can we offer them that is
useful?

* Hosted app that converts FOO format into Ogg
* More original content in Ogg format
* Cross-platform Ogg playing from Firefox
* Approach recording artists who might be sympathetic (sort of like Cory
Doctorow is for writing)
* Others?
