There already is a Vorbis player as an add-on package. Now, it looks 
like this does NOT add a Vorbis codec to GStreamer, so you don't get the 
advantage of playing Vorbis "natively", but the code to play Vorbis in 
Ogg streams exists.

But yes, I too would like to see Vorbis, Speex, and Theora in the 
GStreamer stack natively.

Also, while we are at it, I saw that there is a company that has Windows 
Media Player files in the GStreamer stack. While I hate the fact that we 
need these codecs, the simple truth is that as long as WebMasters 
continue to use WMA/WMV for web content we will need these codecs - 
perhaps a Non-Free package, with the appropriate blackmail^Wlicense paid 
to Microsoft by Nokia would be in order.
