[theora] Newbie Question: Seeking on remote .ogg files (audio)

[Basil Mohamed Gohar]

Rich,

What version of Firefox were you using?  My understanding is that
Firefox can seek just fine in Ogg Vorbis files, even over the network.  
The problem may reside, however, on the server, if it does not support
range-request headers.  Was the MP3 on the same server as the Ogg file
you were testing with?

P.S.  If the file is something you can provide a link to, that would
make it easier for others to help find the source of the problem.
