[vorbis] Re: OGG in RIFF-WAVE (encoding with MSACM)

[Ross Levis]

Other advantages of a Vorbis ACM are:

1. Record to Vorbis files using the Windows Sound Recorder and lots of 
other recording software that don't know anything about Ogg Vorbis.  You 
can always strip the WAV header off later if required.
2. Play Vorbis tracks using any number of Windows audio players.  Some 
of these are specialist players such as for radio broadcasting.
3. Use Vorbis Windows sounds such as Windows startup & shutdown, "You 
have mail" etc.
