Cool!

No, I think these are two very different things. audio/ogg;
codecs=vorbis means there is an ogg vorbis file. audio/vorbis means
here is a stream of vorbis - no matter how it is encapsulated. We
cannot do without audio/vorbis in a streaming context and should use
the same inside skeleton IMO.
