theora dev - Jul 2007 - can .ogg files play with any other codec

if i want to play a .ogg file, should i have the theora codec installed in
my machine...?
is theora the only compatible codec with ogg container format..?

i am using Ubuntu 7.04, with the default player (Totem Movie Player 2.18.1),
it is not necessary to install theora externally.
why is this,
with the totem player they included theora codec....?
or .ogg can be play with another codec...?

Ogg can only embed  Free codecs theora and vorbis , I'm 99% sure ( It's
why
this guy created OGM )

On Ubuntu , Totem Rely on Gstreamer and the theora Gstreamer plugin is
installed by default . Ogg video with theora/vorbis  needs ...... theora &
vorbis  codec right now but remenber you can have ogg audio files ( only
vorbis ) .

A good think could be to use ogv and oga as you can't use different handler
for the same file extension  in Windows for exemple.
