I do. If it used could use ogg for streaming lossy format, there is a better chance that it would be accepted in Linux distros on the installation CD with hackers from the distribution adding cool features (like a gstreamer client etc.)
There are Linux distros that ship without vorbis packages? Anyway, what does that have to do with the Squeezebox? Porting a decoder to the sb2's architecture requires work, whereas you can use the well-tested and optimized "official" binaries on your server.
But there's one thing I just noticed: STREAMING. If by that you mean seeking support for the various server decoded formats, I'm all for it but that hopefully doesn't require a full decoder.
