Vorbis - Jan 2003 - another cool use for the vorbis direct show filter

Hi.  My name is Lorenzo Prince.  I am new to the list, but have been an Ogg
Vorbis user for about 6 months now.  I am extremely impressed with the quality
of the format at all bitrates, and it has become my format of choice for
encoding my entire music collection.  Well, I just thought everyone might like
to know that I have found a possibly undocumented use for the Ogg Vorbis direct
show filter.  It seems that you can specify an .ogg file as a sound source for
an HTML document such as a web page.  An example of this can be found at my web
site, (currently under construction), at www.princenet.sytes.net.  Open the page
and take a look at the source code to see how I did it.  It has a standard
bgsound tag with the .ogg file as the source.  I have also decided to promote
the use of the DS filter for this purpose by placing a link to download it
directly from the site.  By the way, if anyone has any ideas for making this web
site more useful, I would be open to your comments.
Regards,
Lorenzo Prince

The problem is that DS filter is Windows only. All Mac and *nix users
won´t hear a thing. Good you put a link to the ogg-file on the frontpage
though.

Is the bgsound tag HTML standard ?

If yes, then leave it as it is and bug browser vendors how dare they
not support ogg/vorbis.
