    Ogg Vorbis for OS/2 was released last July. It includes a
    plug-in for PM123 that is now supported by Dink's z! player as
    well. This plug-in, unfortunately, does not support streaming
    and thus cannot be used to listen to Ogg broadcasts on the web.
    Dink has indicated that he will not fix the plug-in to support
    streaming. Brian Havard, the Ogg porter, appears to have no
    interest or lacks the time to fix the plug-in. The creator of
    the plug-in, Sofiya, has not responded to my e-mail so I
    assume he is making no further changes to the plug-in.

    Would someone here consider adding streaming support to the
    plug-in? The source code for the plug-in is here:

    http://www.din.or.jp/~sofiya/soft/OggPlug.tar.bz2

    I emailed the author of PM123 about the lack of OggVorbis support
    in Pm123 in december 2002...

    He said that in this summer he'd upgrade Pm123.. I contacted
    again him some days ago, but no answer at all....


    max

    finally i've an answer from Samuel.. probably there will be an
    update of Pm123 in August, but unfortunately he has no plans to
    support ogg vorbis :-(

    The chances of a very little-used operating system having support for
    a little-used codec is slim.

    There's support for streaming ogg vorbis in VLC, Mplayer and even
    FFplay, not to mention our old browsers support it fine. And as a
    standby for local files, there's the old double click the ogg vorbis
    file and it plays, no streaming from the OS though, still nice to play
    it from the folder, which acquires the media controls when doing so.
