Greets,

Every linux user that sets up a sound card using sndconfig heres Linus
pronouncing "Linux" - I confess that's how I learned to pronounce it
right, until then I prononced it 'l-EYE-nucks' - I was wondering -
what's the correct pronounciation of 'Ogg Vorbis'?

I pronounce it 'OOOg' (a long 'O' sound or a portuguese 'U' if you
must know) but I imagine it can also be 'O-g' (short 'O') - what's the
official word?

Sure, it's not that tough and the world won't come to a standstill but
why doesn't Monty - the guy that's soon gonna be in every
paper/website in the world - make an .OGG with those famous words:

"My name is Christopher 'Monty' Montgomery and I pronounce Ogg Vorbis
'Ogg Vorbis'."

The file would also be a great demo, maybe even becoming the "My name
is Linus Torvalds..." of Ogg players!  :)

Just a suggestion,
Andre.
