It is the same for Winamp 5 for sure.  I have had zero problems with any 
Vorbis file or stream using Winamp2 or Winamp5.  I think they both use 
the same plugin.  There is even a plugin (that isn't maintained anymore 
unfortunately) for encoding to Vorbis from Winamp5.  Winamp5 has a great 
media library component.  I rip all of my music in it.  The only downer 
is that the plugin is based on Vorbis 1.0 and not 1.1 with the better 
tunings.
