[vorbis] another cool use for the vorbis direct show filter

[Lorenzo Prince]

Hi.  My name is Lorenzo Prince.  I am new to the list, but have been an Ogg Vorbis user for about 6 months now.  I am extremely impressed with the quality of the format at all bitrates, and it has become my format of choice for encoding my entire music collection.  Well, I just thought everyone might like to know that I have found a possibly undocumented use for the Ogg Vorbis direct show filter.  It seems that you can specify an .ogg file as a sound source for an HTML document such as a web page.  An example of this can be found at my web site, (currently under construction), at www.princenet.sytes.net.  Open the page and take a look at the source code to see how I did it.  It has a standard bgsound tag with the .ogg file as the source.  I have also decided to promote the use of the DS filter for this purpose by placing a link to download it directly from the site.  By the way, if anyone has any ideas for making this web site more useful, I would be open to your comments.
Regards,
Lorenzo Prince
