Sure, I appreciate that. I'm not saying it won't be done but at the moment 
installing a DirectShow filter means you could (potentially) get Amarok working 
today. Windows Media Player is basically just a wrapper round DirectShow which 
can't really be fully removed. If necessary use Media Player Classic to test 
playing OGGs and then they should work in Amarok.
