WMP probably uses the ACM (Audio Compression Manager) for 
compression.. (not sure..but it would be the way to go)

Integration into it would allow use from any app using the ACM.

Since you would give it away, I am sure MS would bundle it,
ship it with future systems... They would have mixed feelings..
..but you could shame them into it.

My opinion, this integration is very critical to Vorbis success..

Tom
