| Mine does better:
| 
| $ file b.ogg
| b.ogg: Ogg-Vorbis compressed sound file
| $ file -v
| file-3.35
| magic file from /usr/share/magic

Then I should probably upgrade :
$ file -v
file-3.27
magic data from /etc/magic:/etc/magic

However, I like the extra info (channel info, bitrate etc) file gives
me about mp3's. I realise bitrate may be a difficult for oggs, but
some more info must be possible, no ?
