[vorbis] OT: WinNT(2000) player to open files with unicode names?

[Peter Pawlowski]

This is a well-known limitation of Winamp and will be hopefully fixed in
final Winamp3. It might help to change some Win2k international settings
(but I've never tried that). See Winamp bug reports forum for more info -
