"Omi" is also cute-talk for 'grandmother' in German. Can we please end
this thread and just use .ogg as it's supposed to be? :(

Even the computer-illiterate people I introduced to Ogg Vorbis could
live with the .ogg extension after I explained shortly, due to lack of
example files, how it works and what the difference between Ogg and
Vorbis is. It wasn't difficult.

I really wonder why everyone's acting as if this was a problem. By
creating myriads of file extension for the same thing you CAUSE problems
instead of solving 'em.
