I think the reason why Nokia didn't support Ogg until now was that
the standard Ogg decoder heavily relies on floating point operations
and is thus way too slow on the Nokia 770. The alternative integer-only
decoder Tremor doesn't have a gstreamer plugin yet.

I have a player like this in mind. :)
But I also wouldn't mind Nokia porting the Tremor decoder to the DSP. ;)
