I am just letting my mind run here, but there seems to be an interesting
idea here:
Since the java class is so small to play the file, wouldn't it be cool
to work out a standard to embed the java class into the ogg stream? It
is like a special type of header. In this way, new codecs could
(optionally) include a java jar to decode the codec embedded in the
stream.
At 30 kB, who would care?
This would be a cute way to make new media types availible.
Oscar.
