Bjorn,

MP3 support is already built-in into Flash, thus why there are so many 
players out there. I believe it's possible to implement Vorbis support 
through ActionScript 2, the script language used on Flash, but it would 
be a tremendous feat, since it would be an entire implementation written 
from scratch. This is what I meant that would break news, make a good 
commercial tool, etc.

Of course if Adobe/Macromedia would implement built-in support into 
Flash, it would make everything else easier. Actually, that would be the 
smartest thing, all things considered.

-Ivo

P.S: Lucas, I was in no way ditching you, but the author of that 
application. I forgot to say this.
