Hey Philipp. As I understand it, it's not a technical problem (the code
has already been written and works), but a moral one. They don't want to
ship it by default, like the mp3, because it is covered by patents.
Nevertheless, not everyone lives in a locality where software patents
have any validity, and thus at least they should have a choice.

It will be nice if we one day have multichannel hardware vorbis decoders
in our home theatre systems so we don't have to be stuck with
AAC/AC3/DTS.
