Okay, you probably have a point there.  :)

Unfortunately, resistance to ffmpeg support for ogg123 isn't merely 
philosophical.  There are real legal problems associated with using the 
ffmpeg libraries (take a look at audacity for one possible solution), and 
don't even get me started on ffmpeg versioning and API/ABI stability.

Of course, you can always take off on your own.  Some kind of 
"everything123" sounds like a good project, albeit one with a limited 
audience.
