Anyway this is a concern for the player application and not
for the codec or the format ( ok , could add tons of encryption
and other crap to the format, but then nobody would use it,
I know I won't ).

Player apps are not exactly the focus of Monty or XIPH,Co.
They are done by external entities , like Winamp, XMMS etc...
