from what I can tell Vorbis works with WebM but then you get into the
browser problem. The proprietary browsers appear to not support the OSS
media without extra stuff added by the user..

It's also hard to get a decent encoding software...  you might have to roll
your own.

it's the 'all platforms' part that is a problem.

as usual.... wikipedia
