.omi  .omc    .omi is nice because you can say "i'm getting an oh-me 
file"  it stands for ogg media interleave. I really like .omi

omc would be ogg media container. omc is more obvious, but doesn't have 
a nice way of saying it without it sounding like an acronym.

People will name their files whatever they want in the end though.  any 
sort of official saction of extensions is just a suggestion at best.
