[Flac-dev] Move to .oga prematurely?

Hi list,

I have been trying to get the new file extension for Ogg FLAC (.oga) to work 
with Amarok. But it does not look to be possible due to limitations in the 
xine and gstreamer engines.

Maybe the move to .oga was prematurely?

I have done some testing with other players—including Banshee, Quod Libet, 
and others—but have not had any success with playing the .oga files. Only 
player I have got it to work with is VLC.

A quick work around is to manually specify a .ogg extension and 
audio/x-oggflac MIME type.
