There's support for streaming ogg vorbis in VLC, Mplayer and even 
FFplay, not to mention our old browsers support it fine. And as a 
standby for local files, there's the old double click the ogg vorbis 
file and it plays, no streaming from the OS though, still nice to play 
it from the folder, which acquires the media controls when doing so.
