[vorbis] Vorbis ACM codec

[Mark de Bokx]

Imho its possible to mux every conceivable audio codec in a DivX:) AVI file.
I allready encountered the first DivX:)'s that use OGG as audio codec. The
question is if you Ogg Vorbis guys want to be associated with DivX:). That
would be a bad idea imho...DivX:) is controversial and NOT here to stay
imho...its a rippers codec with a shady past (although they try to be
"fashionable" with their Open Source initiative) nothing more, nothing less.

Regards,

Mark

Would it be possible to use QuickTime for this?

Or how difficult would it be to use DivX in Ogg and are there reasons
why this is a bad idea? (license, technical,...)
