<div>"Vorbis is the best lossy audio codec" - Do you have data to back up this assertion? I am not an expert here, I had the naïve assumption that AAC was better given that major devices (e.g. iPod) use this format over Vorbis. I would love to see some data (other than some studies from 2005 on some forum that Wikipedia links to).</div>

</div>Given the problem we had with the video codec, I would like to request<br>
that those of you interested in getting a standard audio codec do so by<br>
directly working with the browser vendors to get an agreement.<br>
