i'm not on the flash team, but i can push a little from where i am to  
see what the story is.  From what i understand, a major goal of flash  
is to 1) keep the size down to the minimum and 2) not have it depend  
on anything.

because of 2, we can't have folks having to install XiphQT  
separately, it would have to come as part of the flash installer.    
because of 1, we are loath to include anything more than absolutely  
necessary.  considering we already have an audio solution built into  
flash, it becomes less than absolutely necessary to include yet  
another audio solution.
