There are several disjoint projects to bring Ogg/Vorbis/Theora support to the standard media player. None of them work completely as far as I can tell - some add the codecs, most don't do all the mime-associations. Nokia has already said they will never support it out of the box, so the next best thing would be to have something available to fully integrate it. It seems possible, and the highest voted bug report from the community is specifically for Ogg/V/T support (under the title of a DSP driver, but I'd like a fully integrated native one even if it did drain the battery a bit faster). >> It's a little unclear whether it's targeting volunteer developers >> working on this in their spare time who might be interested in making a >> living on it, or companies who are working on free software, or >> volunteers who just want a hand, but are very happy staying volunteers. > > We are referring here to community projects, which imply open planning > and development.
