I also thought about this, and I came to the conclusion, that, even if it would
work this way, you'd never get a REAL ogg file. For example the progressive
Format of the data, the peelers use, couldn't be achieved this way. (I know
peelers are not yet good, but as far as I got it, it already works, just not as
good as it could)
So I decided not to spend any further thoughts about it, cause it would be
really bad if the ogg files in a collection are of a "different" format and
can't all be treated the same way.

Just my 2 cents.
