It is my humble opinion, of course. I guess others agree or DS9 wouldn't
exist...

Fact is, the windows users are used to this. There are zillions "codec
packs" (although I'm against them) available allowing to render any files.
The ffdshow filter by itself can render 90% of the audio files available and
can customize rendering every possible way. An OGG filter is distributed, so
can ffdshow, I guess.

My point is that it is preferable to use the OS services rather adding
layers of 3rd Party, especially as DS9 already exists.
