    I think top priority should be to fix this downward annoying
    file loading behavior. I guess the delayed playback which is
    reported here, is yet again caused by the component wanting
    to download an entire file into memory before playing it,
    and this happens under all platforms. If FLAC is implemented
    and the component still shows this behavior, it will take
    even longer to open a FLAC file because these files are
    mostly larger than OGG files.

    Yesterday I opened a file which was still being downloaded
    in QT Player (OS X 10.2), and it hung completely with the
    dreaded color wheel. I guess it might have resumed when the
    file was complete, but I didn't have that much patience and
    killed QT Player. After this, QT Player crashes everytime I
    open anything, and the logs show "EXC_BAD_ACCESS". The only
    way to fix this is to reboot. Really nice. (NOT).

    However, I have the feeling that nobody is still working on
    this thing. Hello, is there anybody out there? Please give
    us a sign of life if you still have - or don't have - plans
    to work on this unfinished project...

    The importer has to read through the entire file to properly import the
    vorbis sound. There have been some performance optimizations in 1.0d7
    to improve the time it takes to read.
