If/when ' request 1061: Ogg Vorbis Support in Firmware'
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1061) is implemented,
would it make sense to use Ogg instead of Mp3 for bitrate limited
streaming for SB2s, SB3s and software players (stream.ogg??) ?

Two reasons that I can think of:

1. Ogg has a reputation for better audio quality at the lower end of
the bit rate spectrum.

2. No need to deal with the Mp3/LAME distribution issue.  You could
have compressed streaming right out of the box.

Good idea or bad idea?  Obviously there's the issue of supporting SB1s
and older devices.
