IEEE Multimedia would probably be easier to get into. Just watch out for
page charges if you're going to go into academic  publishing.

I have no doubt that serious technical journals in the right technical
areas 
would print a well written article on Vorbis. It would certainly be
referred to
a lot... Many journals now have a on-line or CD-rom based repository

things like code - you don't really want to read it, just to have it there.

Sounds fine to me - just make sure to tell this list how & when to
switch over.
