a) ogg123 does not care what version the files are, but the
vorbis libraries do. I suppose that is what you mean.

b) the decoder in the beta4 libraries did not support all
features of the 1.0 format and hence cannot decode all files.
Any decoder later than (or equal to) rc1 can. So rc1 can
still decode rc2 files, and it will read rc3 and later
files too. But beta4 cannot.

It should be.

Yes.
