That's not strictly true; Audion streams Vorbis (as shown on
http://wcpe.org/internet.shtml#Ogg), as does XMMS. I'm not about to go
recommending Vorbis to my professors that use Macs, though, mainly because
of the hassle involved in setting up Fink, and an X server, AND xmms.

Shame, really; StarDancer
(http://www.csupomona.edu/~ajm/personal.html#music)
is pretty damn good. It'd be better in Vorbis, but I've zero interest in
pushing it to 'im if the new files won't play in iTunes without some
legwork.
