Are you taking about Vorbis (the codec) or OGG (the container) ?
That's the kind fo confusion that makes me nervous when I hear about Xiph (sorry
Emmett) : he OGG/Vorbis confusion. Even technical people make the confusion.
That's what I call putting everything in the same bag. From a technical point of
view (and even a marketing one) it's bad.

Anyway I know some people managed to put Vorbis in the MPEG4 container (MPEG4IP
project). If this is the case, that means the Vorbis API is good enough to be
used in other containers and other codec API too. So I'm not *that* scared of
all this integration :)
