Just for the record, the DMC 8280 portable player cannot play any
file I have which was encoded with 1.0 RC2 or older.  1.0 RC3 and
newer are all fine.  And I believe this was the point at which
floor0 was abandoned, though I might be remembering that wrong.

If the player tries to play any of the older Oggs, it just locks up,
often with strange Korean(?) characters on the display.

I suspect this issue, with symptoms of varying fatality, is common
in quite a few of the hardware players.
