I experience this too, it's not just the playback that halts but the entire
system freezes during a few seconds, except for the mouse. In iTunes,
it happens occasionally with Ogg files. However, the same happens in
QuickTime Player with ALL files, even raw AIFF. So I bet iTunes will also
have these freezes when playing QDesign stuff and other QT movie
files. It never freezes when playing AIF, WAV, MP3 or AAC because
iTunes has its own decoder for those. For all other formats it uses QT.
My guess is that it's a bug in QuickTime 6, maybe it's fixed in QT 7 (but
then again, Ogg doesn't work in that one... yet).

In response to drlex, I'm not convinced it's a Quicktime
bug. I have no problems without the qtcomponents module. In
fact, I once had an OGG module for Quicktime which worked
fine (I'm not sure which it was, there were several some
time ago).
With QT7 the module does not work at all but just crashes
iTunes as soon as it tries to play an OGG file. At least
under OSX. It may or may not work with Windows.

Yes, I get this too. I always suspected it was the Ogg playback but I was
never sure. Guess this kinda confirms it
