For Ogg Vorbis there is; http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/
And with that you can play a Ogg Vorbis file without a player at the client side.
The software is free to download. I can not be very difficult to inclued this in the wiki so that you have the option to listen to by a webbased player. A user good in templates can probably do that in in a couple of minutes. The only thing that really needs to be done is install JOrbis on the WMF server so that not an external hosted service must be used for this.
It's already setup on enwiki, linking to a modified copy on toolserver.
I set it up weeks ago and have been able to gather fairly little interest in it... thus my frustration with people insisting that we must use proprietary formats for ease of use.
Hours to talk abour unfree tools but not a second to build something real...
