I'm currently actively working on Ogg Vorbis support for squeak.  I've 
gotten the vorbis libraries to compile under the Win32 Squeak compile 
environment and now just need to write some slang to get the two to talk 
(I'm going the plugin route rather than the FFI route).  I'm planning 
only on decode support for starters (since that's all I need for my 
jukebox anyway), but it wouldn't be difficult to add encoding support as 
well.  I'll let everyone know when I have anything that's even alpha 
quality.
