→ogg theora/vorbis playback

Security concerns: Quite frankly, both the ogg theora and ogg vorbis codecs aren't particulary popular. So i'm not sure if adding them is worth exposing the end user to the risk of one of those codecs containing security relevant bugs. As far as i know there haven't been any such bugs found yet in these codecs but i suspect that's mostly because they aren't that popular. What efforts has the ogg team gone through to make sure liboggplay is secure? | Security concerns: Quite frankly, both the ogg theora and ogg vorbis codecs aren't particulary popular.

Here: May I respectfully disagree! | |||
Ogg is a great format, the compression algorithm makes very compact files, the quality is one of the best, and the tools for creating OGG VORBIS files are open-source. | |||
Its only draw-back (that I am aware of) is the requirement for some CPU power, (say equivalent to at least a Pentium or Athlon 800 Mhz). | |||
But supporting OGG VORBIS, Firefox will help to make popular a great format. | |||
Furthermore O.V does not have the MP3, and other proprietary formats Copyrights issues! | |||
FLAC is also a great format, great quality and Losseless, similar to Ogg Vorbis... But files are quite larger. | |||
