ogg dev - Aug 2008 - [Vorbis-dev] MT9 Capabilities

Hm, well is there a way to label the different tracks in an ogg file right
now? That way they could be labeled with "Lead Vocal" "Lead
Guitar" etc.

I've filed a bug report on launchpad but wasn't sure that i understood
it
all correctly and worded it right-- please add to it as you see fit

This'd be codec specific, though Vorbis comments are used by most of them.
I'm not sure if there are "standard" ones for such tagging already
though.

Unless a Skeleton track is used instead (this is supposed to describe
the tracks within a multiplexed Ogg stream).
But Skeleton is nascent too.
