The ogg123 included in ipkvorbis-tools_1.0.1-r0_arm.ipk just plain 
doesn't work on my 3765:  all I get is a few blips of sound per second,  
of a few tens of milliseconds each.  I think this is because it's using 
the floating-point version of libvorbis.

It also takes about 2.2M of flash,  because the inclusion of FLAC support 
in the latest version brings along libstdc++.  This makes it problematic 
for 3100 and 3600 users.

If you only need vorbis playback,  see this post to the mailing list:

Ths appears to work properly on 0.8.0.  But it doesn't support esd,  and 
its combining of libraries that are normally packaged separately may 
cause some annoyance for people who want to install other sound 
packages.

If it'll be of use to enough people,  I'll repackage those libraries to 
avoid the conflicts as an interim measure.

I think that the Tremor library should be repackaged so that it can be 
used as an alternative to the floating-point decoder without the 
dependency problems that arise now.  If it doesn't support the same API,  
it should be reworked so it does:  the whole idea behind having modular 
libraries is that you can replace modules to suit circumstances,  after 
all  ;-)
