I've voiced this opinion before. It's good to see a thread with the same strong sentiment. I wish OGG support would be better implemented. It does work with some software, but the implementation is spotty. UKMP, for example, is able to play them (once you have the ogg-support package installed), but it doesn't handle the tags yet. I tried to modify it, since ID3.py (which is what UKMP uses for ID3 tags) supposedly supports OGG tags, but I couldn't get it to work. Can anyone else make an attempt? If we can get it working, maybe konttori will add it to his official package. Since UKMP doesn't handle the OGG tags, they aren't listed properly like MP3s are.
Anyway, any Linux-based device that can play any audio should have OGG support built-in and easily accessible to any other audio software. Even though the DSP doesn't support it, the software-only implementation works fine for playing the files. It should just be built-in and better supported.
