Would it be possible to incorporate one of the MOD/S3M/XM/IT Module format codecs into OGGPlay?
UltraMP3 is currently the only other Symbian-based player which offers any sort of module support, but the author hasn't bothered to bugtest this feature and as a result MOD's play at un-even rates, or sometimes out of tune. Basically, it sucks major ass. OGGPlay looks like a much more polished player than UltraMP3, and better still, it's free!
For those of you unaware, MOD's are like midi's except they use "samples" within the file itself rather than external synthisisers to play the tune. Thus you can get modules which sound as good as MP3's but at a fraction of the size.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
FYI there are a number of freeware codec's out there for developers seeking to make a "Module" player, or software based on this format. Alas i don't have any definate links, but I'd be more than willing to pay a tidy sum for OGGPlay if decent module file support was included too.
