Ivo, all, Xiph has decided to make .oga and .ogv the extensions of the future, to avoid the current confusion between .ogg being in use for vorbis and theora files. The use of extensions is mostly to select between applications, so .oga for audio files and .ogv for video files make more sense because they select between audio and video applications. The use of .ogg for vorbis and .spx for speex files is still supported, but I think we want to encourage people to use the new extension scheme. I would thus support to keep the current specification, or at best provide both but specify what is preferred. I agree with the change to the flac part. Best Regards, Silvia.
