It seems it _can_ support it (through mplayer at least), but can often cause problems in
other players.

are a few of what I was referring to, as well as
	   2.      Audio in AVI files must be either constant-bitrate (CBR) or constant-framesize
	(i.e. all frames decode to the same number of samples). Unfortunately, the most efficient
	codec, Vorbis, does not meet either of these requirements. Therefore, if you plan to
	store your movie in AVI, you will have to use a less efficient codec such as MP3 or AC3.
