Re: [playogg-discuss] Acceptance of Ogg at end-users with illegal downloads

[Michael Sullivan]

i recently encouraged the developer of MAF (http://maf.mozdev.org/) to add in support for html5 audio and video tags so that media referenced can be downloaded as part of the single archive file.  this is ideal for enhanced "podcasting".

Another potential outlet would be "oggcasts" (c.f. "podcast").  In addition to
an "enclosed" Ogg Vorbis audio file (or Ogg Theora video) a page with an
embedded <audio> tag for playing it right in the browser might have some
appeal.  Certainly, for the same file size, the Ogg Vorbis audio sounds better
to me than the "standard" mp3 files...
