(Guillaume Blanchard gblanchard@arcsy.co.jp): I have some question about sound on Wikipedia.
- Ogg format is a recommendation or an obligation ?
1 bis) Can we use other format like mp3, wav, etc... ? 2) Do you planed to support feature like <embed> ?
1) Ogg is recommended because it's a public standard, freely available on all computers. MP3 has patent problems, but is a de facto standard and should also be OK (if the only source material you have is MP3, don't bother recoding to Ogg as that will only reduce quality further). WAV is uncompressed, and therefore unacceptable except in the rarest of cases (I can only think of a few: like short test sounds in articles about digital signal processing).
2) No, I don't ever plan to support embed. Sounds sould play on demand only. I do plan to make some nicer features for audio and video playback at some point.
