[vorbis] New iRiver Firmware supports Vorbis!

[Paul Marks]

iRiver released some firmware updates today for many of their CD and
Flash-based MP3 players.  Among the added features is the ability to play
back Ogg Vorbis and FLAC audio files.  Interestingly, in order to make room
for the decoders, they also _removed_ the ability to play back Windows Media
Audio.  It's unfortunate that they had to take out some capability, but I'd
prefer Ogg to wma any day.

I've tested the new 3.00 firmware on my iMP-350, and Vorbis files play like
a charm.  Seeking in FLAC files is a bit sluggish, so hopefully that will be
improved in future releases.
