In case of Ogg, the application is unfortunately only able to determine 
which codec(s) the Ogg file contains if detailed knowledge about the 
codecs is known already by the Ogg parser. I think I already suggested 
to e.g. add the stream's MIME type to the first Ogg page to make it 
easier for players to cope with new codecs embedded in an Ogg file.
