[vorbis] Zinf

[Ross Levis]

Forget Winamp 3.0.  Development has been stopped.  Winamp 2.9x supports
video and plays Vorbis files and streams well.  Winamp 4 (or 5) will be
based on Winamp 2 and is due out in the 3rd quarter I believe.  Good
news for the hundreds of existing Winamp 2 plugins that will continue to
work.  Winamp v2.95 will be out in the next few days.  It was released
for a short time but then pulled due to a bug found.

Ross.
