* I'm a beta tester (for Savage) has this been added yet? I still see quite a few .wav's (trelane)
* Yes, those are sound effects. Vorbis is only used for music, because you wouldn't want to burden the CPU with decoding 24 oggs simultaneously (slothy).
* Of course you could decode the sound samples ahead of time and avoid the decode on the fly silliness. (xcaliber)
*At the expense of load time slowness if you do it then, or install time slowness if you do it during the install. If you do it during the install, you've only saved yourself space on the CD, which you can probably do in other ways as well. Plus most games don't keep all the sounds loaded in memory, so decompressing them to memory isn't a good thing, it's a RAM hog. This is why nobody should use any compressed codecs for sound effects in games. (slothy)
* Doesn't the PC version of GTA San Andreas Use Vorbis?
* It seems like Black and White 2 by Lionhead uses Ogg Vorbis.

Are there notability guidelines? --[[User:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]] 23:36, 21 October 2006 (PDT)

Many of these links go to web pages that are only accessible with Adobe's proprietary Flash Player installed. Using web pages that support open formats might be better, than the official pages. Additionally, using a more encyclopedic resource might keep the links alive longer than the shockingly short support period for these software titles. --[[User:Matthewcraig|Matthew Craig]] 19:21, 25 August 2008 (EDT)

Vorbis doesn't seem to be compatible with Creative ALchemy or Asus Xonar GX mode (EAX 2.0 compability mode.) It causes frequent lockup with Fallout 3 (uses mix of MP3 and Ogg audio) and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (no audio with GX on) to just name two.

GX (EAX 2.0, DS3D compatibility on Vista) works fine with games using MP3, wav or other audio formats, as far as I know.
