Most of the Wikimania audio on the site (http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Archives) is only available in MP3, and the few vorbis files available that I've heard are very low quality (due to transcoding a lower quality MP3 into a lower quality Ogg).
Most of these few Ogg Vorbis recordings there have I recorded. And the are the only recording availbel for some of the most interesting sessions like the "Wikimedia Foundation Board Panel" or "Wikimedia Foundation: building in diversity"
Which reminds me:
Walter have made ''an audio recording with fragments from talks from Wikimania who I believe can be interesting for candidates for the board. It is Jimbo and Anthere giving comments about this election, the current situation with the board and the future of the board.''

Actually, I somehow lost (?) the software which allowed me to read the ogg files, so I heard the second link.
I'll be interested in being recommanded a software to read the ogg file (which will be 1) free of charge and 2) for a macintosh).
Greg, can you help ?
Anthere
The are made from the RealMedia live-stream, played with gxine and recorded with Audacity and exported to Ogg Vorbis on a gnu/linux computer powered with green electricity. The are not transcoded from mp3 to Ogg Vrobis.
So far I see on the list there are no transcoded recordings on the archive page. There are only mp3 recordings or Ogg Vorbis present, and not both for the same sessions.
