"...influence that could be wielded with manufacturers such as Apple to encourage
them to add Ogg support to their players?"
Indirectly, yes. Same goes for the entire free software movement. Products follow
consumer demand.
Directly, I think the issue is not within the Wikimedia Foundation's immediate
purview. Just my thoughts.

MP3's are not permitted on Wikipedia because of the lack of legal free

With Wikipedia's large current degree of popularity, doesn't it have
any influence that could be wielded with manufacturers such as Apple
to encourage them to add Ogg support to their players?
