Well, filenames I suppose would be more of a general player
problem, what I was wondering was if there were existing
compliance tests for other formats that could be looked at
as models for Vorbis compliance.  It would be nice to be
able to answer questions like what quality level the iRiver
flash devices can actually handle reliably.

Of course, Vorbis is defined by the decoder, which in a way
covers everything.  But (I'm told), quite a few parts of the spec
aren't used by files produced by current decoders, which
seems to mean they don't get implemented sometimes.
