I know exactly what needs to be written.  There are essentially two 
components you'd need to write:  An audio decompressor component that 
converts an Ogg Vorbis data stream to raw PCM audio, and a QuickTime 
movie import component that encapsulates an Ogg Vorbis data stream in 
a sample in a media in an audio track in a movie.  (That's an 
in-memory Movie structure, not a movie file.)

Apple has some useful sample code; the AudioCodec example shows how 
to implement a simple µLaw audio CODEC, and the ImporterMac example 
shows how to implement a very simple movie import component.

   <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Sample_Code/QuickTime/
    Importers_and_Exporters/ImporterMac.sit>

I would *not* suggest this project for someone who's never done 
Macintosh development before though.  Component debugging can be 
tricky.  (I don't know whether or not you've done Macintosh 
development, Segher, so I'm just guessing that you haven't.  My 
sincere apologies if I'm wrong about that.)  I'd do it myself, but 
I've become extremely busy lately.  I'll answer any questions I can 
though.
