I see a necessity in trying to force people to use ogg or any other free (as speech) codec, before "digital rights protected" codecs get more widely used. It's politics, but I think it important. Mp3 is not an alternative here, because there already are more powerful commercial and DRM enabled codecs available and it is an important task to not let these take over. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
