Widespread acceptance? Yes, making OggVorbis the audio standard for divx would make that... 5.1 would be nice.

However, is this what 'we' really want? Because if Ogg becomes associated with DivX and associated and therefore ends up getting noticed by those sweet lads and lasses at RIAA... then what chance is there of seeing widespread use of Ogg in commercial applications?

I mean, its all well and nice that the quality is better and all the rest... but if your appliance dont work with it, then its mucho useless, no? How many people apart from the few 'in the know' actually use it?
The hard truth is that companies will stay away from anything divx-related like it's the black death.

The way I see it, Ogg needs all the support it can get by all the manufacturers.
If that means no surround sound on DivX, so be it
