(Posted to the Vorbis list, where I should have
started it in the first place!)

Macromedia UK guided me to the official wishlist.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/email/wishform/

They warn people that responses are not likely to be
sent, however.

What is the state of play regarding getting Ogg Vorbis
into Flash? There's often talk about Quicktime, Helix
and DirectShow filters. Has Xiph also been pushing for
getting it included in the Flash product line or is it
not considered a priority?

I tried looking through the Xiph archives and the
Macromedia forums but didn't see anything helpful.
There does seem to be a fuss over mp3 licensing when
using Flash in popular websites, however -

I don't know if we've ever contacted them.  But I think we did back when
1.0 first got released.  I think people who use flash should mail
Macromedia and ask about support for it.

Hi Jack,

It's a good idea. I am going to email macromedia to ask support for ogg in
Flash. Anyway, it is impossible it would be available before end of 2004
because the brand new Flash 2004 was just released.

I don't know if we've ever contacted them.  But I think we did back when
1.0 first got released.  I think people who use flash should mail
Macromedia and ask about support for it.

I contacted the CEO of Macromedia directly last December or January and 
asked for a Flash player for Linux/PPC. He responded simply: "we're 
working on it." Haven't heard anything since.
