[vorbis] Vorbis newbie questions

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

  I'm writing an article for the O'Reilly Network, and the focus is on
streaming audio with Linux. I would like to include material concerning
Vorbis, but I need some information:

    1) What's up with www.vorbis.com and www.icecast.org ? Can anyone
say when they'll be back on-line ?

    2) Where should I go to get the latest Vorbis sources ?

    3) What players, encoders, etc currently support Vorbis ?

    4) What extra software exists for Vorbis ? (I'm thinking of things
like the VCE I read about on this list).

    5) Say I want to listen to a Vorbis stream: where can I go to
connect to one on the net ? What player should I use ? If I use
Netscape, how do I configure it ? Is there an Ogg Vorbis MIME type ?

    6) What's up with Icecast 2.0 and Vorbis ?

  I know, it's a lot of questions, sorry about that. In my defense, I've
become very curious about Vorbis after doing my research on MP3...  ;)

  Vast appreciation in advance...

Best regards,
