Yes, it would be very nice :)
Unfortunately the changes needed are a bit too invasive for what is left of
the KDE 3.2 time-frame. Basically I need to rewrite our ogg-vorbis support,
since it is assumed quite a lot of places that an ogg-file is also a
vorbis-stream. Also the kfile_plugin/ogg informations will be severly limited
since a lot of the informations doesnt make any sense for streams other than
vorbis.
For post-3.2 I plan to rewrite part of the ogg123-code in mpeglib, this will
beside oggflac-support also give speex-support
For 3.2 I will stick with pushing a small non-invasive plugin for ordinary
flac:)
