Correct.  A lot of people don't realize that the Vorbis format is sufficiently
flexible that you can make all sorts of improvements to the encoder without
changing the decoder.  Monty has stated that the RC2 decoder (in fact the RC1
decoder!) will play all future Vorbis 1.0 files.  All of Monty's work right
now is going on in encoder space, which doesn't affect hardware players.
