And Real and/or WMP (which BYU is also using) don't suck bandwidth?  How
does the format have anything to do with bandwidth?  My observation has
been that OGG sounds better at lower bitrates than does Real or WMP
(which sound like you're playing the sound underwater in an aquarium),
which would make it a *better* choice.
