[vorbis] Is there a list of Ogg-supporting portable players?

[Jeremy M. Hanrahan]

The NexII compact flash based player is also firmwear upgradable.
I started a poll for Ogg-Vorbis support on the users-group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nexiimp3/
At first there was a lot of interest into the Ogg-Vorbis format, and now
as a result there is much support for Ogg in the next firmwear release.
(almost 70% of those polled)

(I think the biggest barrier for the hardwear guys (ie FrontierLabs,
Souleplayer, SonicBlue etc..) is an integer-based implementation of a
vorbis decoder. I heard something about Russell King from ARM working on
this... Anyone know if this is the case -and how far away integer vorbis
is from realisation?)

Cheers

Jez
