I hope !!!, because Vorbis is a super audio codec !!!
And If Theora gets as good as Vorbis (Good quality at low bitrates)
it is getting the best codec for Video.

Yes, no discussion on the theora-dev List :(

The rududu I have found, but it is for M$ :( and no source.
WARP I havn't found, or the site is empty. (Source/LINUX ????)
