Ogg is not an audio codec.  Ogg is a generic media wrapper (kinda like
quicktime.)  Ogg Vorbis is the lossy audio codec that everyone calls
Ogg.  They've been working on a video codec as well but I cannot
remember what it is called.  Also there is FLAC which is a free lossless
codec that is commonly stuffed into the Ogg wrapper.
