Vorbis dev - Apr 2008 - base64 ALBUMART vorbiscomment (was Re: [ogg-dev] Ogg/Spots and Ogg/MNG)

Beside that, multiplexed logical streams suffer from pretty bad software /
hardware support, isn't it?
It's better to display album art as text if the player doesn't recognize
the base64 album art, than being unable to even play the file.

Actually, base64 implementations have been seen in the wild.

Well, you must break your eggs if you want to make an ommelette.
