On Windows, Ambulant uses the DirectX infrastructure to play
audio  
and video. Hence, if you want to play back Ogg Vorbis audio
you first  
need to install an Ogg Vorbis DirectX plugin.

I think this is available, but I've never actually tried to
use it.  
Please let us know if you find something and whether it
works or not,  
then we'll add the information to the FAQ.

I'm able to play SMIL documents with media element pointing
to Ogg 
(Vorbis or Theora) files with Ambulant 1.6.1 (built on Jan 2
2006 for 
Windows/MFC).

I've a codec pack installed on my Windows platform (a
recent version of 
K-Lite Codec Pack), which provides a fairly wide set of
DirectShow filters.

For decoding OggVorbis I think it uses ffdshow or
CoreVorbis, and it 
seems that Haali Media Splitter (a DirectShow source filter
for opening 
audio streams in an Ogg container) is launched when I play
my document 
in Ambulant.

Yes, thank you. Hunting on GOOGLE for "K-Lite Codec
Pack" and installing 
those elements having to do with Ogg and Haali Media
Splitter, then 
rebooting made the error go away. My *.smil file now plays
Ogg Vorbis 
without any error on WinXP. 

Thank you again,
Gan
