+              <p>A (Mac OS X) framework is a conveniently packaged software library. Xiph frameworks is a set of Xiph libraries containing the actual
+                coding/decoding functionality used by XiphQT.</p>
+              <p>Yes, the Xiph frameworks need to be installed on your system but no, you no longer need to worry about installing them manually.
+                Starting with XiphQT version 0.1.2 the installation package for OS X contains the necessary frameworks' files and will be able
+                to install them automatically, or upgrade a previously installed version, if necessary.</p>

+              <p>If an application, e.g. QuickTime Player, can open an .ogg file without errors but then simply produces just silence you may need
+                to restart your computer.</p>
+              <p>Some of the XiphQT components are implemented as system components and not QuickTime components. While "Tiger" seems to be able
+                to detect those components automatically - "Panther", apparently, can only detect those newly installed components only on system

+            </div>
+            <div class="faq-A">
+              <p>Having the ability to play Ogg Vorbis files in iTunes was one of the main driving forces behind the
+                <a href="http://qtcomponents.sf.net">qtcomponents</a> project and also behind XiphQT development. However, iTunes is a proprietary
+                software which does not provide a way to expand directly it's audio formats handling functionality by third-party developers. Given
+                the iTunes support for QuickTime formats and architecture, writing a QuickTime extension (a <em>component</em>) has an effect of
+                indirectly extending iTunes functionality. Unfortunately, iTunes support for QuickTime formats and extension mechanisms seems to
+                be very selective - it is not even clear what exactly is supported as there is no single page of documentation about it.</p>
+              <p>Having said that, the XiphQT development efforts go into ensuring compatibility with QuickTime architecture and as complete
+                (and proper) support for QuickTime extension mechanisms as possible. But the way applications, such as iTunes, choose to use,
+                or not to use, QuickTime architecture is beyond our control.</p>
+              <p>Regarding the .ogg files meta-data missing in iTunes - to my knowledge, there is no way to fix this from the XiphQT source code
+                point of view. However, there exist some AppleScript scripts that can help you with track's meta-data in iTunes (for example, see
+                <a href="http://trac.xiph.org/ticket/759">this ticket</a> or
+                <a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1361353&forum_id=135636">this thread</a>).</p>
+              <p>By the way, if you are curious or sceptical about the above paragraphs - here is a simple practical experiment:</p>
+              <ol>
+                <li>Find a .mov files with some meta-data (try, for example, the official Apple movie trailer page);</li>
+                <li>Make sure you have the whole file on your hard drive;</li>
+                <li>Import the file into iTunes;</li>
+                <li>Check the file's info dialog.</li>
+              </ol>
+              <p>Did you get all the meta-data imported correctly? Or - does the file behave exactly like the other formats (mp3, m4a), in all
+                aspects?</p>
+            </div>
+            <a name="faq_itunes_int" id="faq_itunes_int"></a>
+            <div class="faq-Q">
+              <p>Equaliser/visualisation/crossfade doesn't work in iTunes with .ogg files - how come?</p>
+            </div>
+            <div class="faq-A">
+              <p>In short? No idea, honestly! This is how iTunes treats all the "foreign" file formats, XiphQT-supported amongst them, in its
+                mysterious internals.</p>
+              <p>Please see <a href="#faq_itunes_metadata">the first question in this section</a> for a longer explanation.</p>

+            <div class="faq-Q">
+              <p>iTunes doesn't use airTunes speakers when playing .ogg files - is XiphQT's audio output device
+                fixed to the main audio output only?</p>
+            </div>
+            <div class="faq-A">
+              <p>XiphQT doesn't even come near any audio output device. Basically all it does is it gets a handful of compressed audio data bits
+                and decompresses them, when asked to do so, returning a (slightly bigger) handful of decompressed, raw audio sample bits to whomever
+                asked XiphQT to perform that decompression task.</p>
+              <p>For some reason iTunes doesn't treat all the audio compression formats equally. Please see
+                <a href="#faq_itunes_metadata">the first question in this section</a> for a longer explanation.</p>
+            </div>
+            <a name="faq_itunes_stream" id="faq_itunes_stream"></a>
+            <div class="faq-Q">
+              <p>Does XiphQT allow one to listen to ogg network streams in iTunes?</p>
+            </div>
+            <div class="faq-A">
+              <p>Not as such. While XiphQT support for network ogg streams has lately (v.0.1.3) improved significantly (and you can try it in QuickTime Player),
+                iTunes has its own routines for working with network audio streams and broadcasts. However, those routines see every network stream
+                as an 'MPEG audio stream'. Obviously, this can not work with streams which are not MPEG audio streams. Such as ogg streams, for example.</p>
