Now this is a good idea. I have been using OGG and FLAC
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/flac) side by side for some time now.
There was some discussion going on in the flac-devel mailinglist, whether
or not it would make sense if flac would become part of the ogg project..

The whole thread is archived at
http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=flac-dev Search for subject
"FLAC as part of the ogg project?"

At least licensing would not be a problem, as flac AFAIK is also
GPLd/LGPLd.
