[vorbis] embedded vorbis players

The only one I know is the Iomega HipZip, and then only with the 2.0 version
of the iObjects Dadio operating system, not yet officially available from
Iomega.

And then it's got a couple of problems: it uses 40 MByte cartridges, only
about half a hour of music each one, and a bit expensive too. But mostly, I
am a little wary of the Iomega brand, having had terrible experiences with
their hideous Ditto backup tapes, and the scarce reliability of Jaz disks.

Ah, the good old days of Syquest... (that got bought by whom? Iomega, sigh)

That would be really nice, and yes, definitely try the dev list.
