There isn't?  Hmm, I guess I'll assemble the most common ones and
create a spec, then.

You'll see it in HW players stating they can play this "OGG" thing,
which is nothing but Vorbis.  What about Theora, Speex, etc?

Wikipedia usually gets it right.  I'll check it for errors, though,
and correct them.

Recently, we have released a proposal that allows three media types for Ogg.

Those are application/ogg (for non-audio, non-video) and video/ogg and
audio/ogg (which are obvious in what they are suited for).  Those
media types apply for anything in Ogg: Speex, Dirac, FLAC, OggMNG,
etc. and any possible combination.  As such...

...it should be possible to address such issue with the media types,
as far as I am aware.
