	I'm certainly no expert on this matter, but based on what I've
been able to pick up from the conversation, I'm guessing that the Ogg
standard provides for proprietary, application-specific extensions, and
that there's a popular application out there producing Ogg files with such
a proprietary extension. My wager is that we're waiting for information on
the dshow filter extensions.

	A'rpi, am I getting warm?
