@Gargron That may be true for embedded systems like car music players or even entry-level HiFi equipment, that is still 20+ years behind in terms of format support… But that's hardly true for any non-embedded and up-to-date software…

OGG is not Opus (which is actually still not-so-widely supported), and has been around since the ≃2000s… There's no sane reason to not support it "because it's not supported elsewhere"…

@Gargron Ok, I got your point… "look, apple still doesn't support standards instead of it own bastardizations, so apple has the right to dictate what so-called 'open source software' should support, and what it shouldn't, so it doesn't offend the apple fanclub"

@devnull @lienrag I choose my software to be usable by everyday people over pleasing some free software nerds

@Gargron Yeah sure, paying over 800€ for a dumbphone and over 1200€ for low-end computers, sound much like "everyday people"

And looking for efficiency (avoid useless recompression of compressed media) by supporting well documented standard with 20+ years of existence, is just being about "pleasing some free software nerds"…

Thanks for your usual "I know better than everyone who doesn't agree with me and I don't care about other people's advice" attitude…
