As a fellow "lead programmer at a" [not-so-major]
"game comapy" I understand your predicament. But
instead of waiting for some volunteer to do it for free,
why don't you convince EA to put someone on the
task? I realize that good optimizers are expensive,
but surely EA is looking at way more than one
programmer's salary in FhG licensing fees. And it's
not really a huge project. Something along the lines
of MAD (http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/mpeg/)
would do nicely.

PS. I know it sounds like I'm 'calling the kettle black,'
but I *am* working on an addition to vorbis that will
be of great use to game programmers like us. it just
happens not to be an optimized decoder. details
soon...
