Ogg reproduction and beyond.

Hello list. :)

I'm beta testing Amarok and reporting the worst bugs I'm encountering.
One of the bigger problems on my machine is ogg reproduction:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209085#c8

I've done some more tests:
- oggcodecs 0.9.9.5 from package in the repo is a ~ 2002-2003 software 
-> crash
- oggcodecs 0.9.9.6 is a ~ 2003-2004 software -> crash
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Ogg_DirectShow_Filters.htm
- radlight 1.0.0.2 is a ~2005 software -> crash
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/RadLight_Ogg_Media_DirectShow_filter.htm
- xiph 0.81.15562 is a 12/2008 software -> 100% CPU and high memory usage
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Filters_for_Ogg_Vorbis_Speex_Theora_and_FLAC.htm
http://www.xiph.org/dshow/

While all of them don't work properly for me, the one which behaves best 
is xiph's one, which is also the more "official" and updated one. Is 
there a rationale for shipping a really old codec package instead?

On a partly related note: has someone the answer to this question?

Thank you for your work,
