[vorbis] HipZip support?

[Edmund GRIMLEY EVANS]

   The need for a portable Vorbis player remains strong, anyway. Preferably one
   with a 20 GB hard disk inside. ;^)

Perhaps there is someone who is mad enough and has enough free time to
write their own firmware patch to add Ogg Vorbis capabilities to some
existing piece of hardware.

I noticed that Frontier Labs provides unencrypted and presumably
unsigned firmware for the NEX II audio player, so in principle you
could do a bit of reverse engineering and patch it. A possible problem
with that device is that it uses the TMS320C54x DSP. Mad hackers with
lots of free time probably don't have a compiler for that processor.
But if you had an ARM-based device ...
