Because it's mature and OpenSource, I would suggest allowing this codec to be used in ogx and ogv files as video codec.
There is only a maximum of about 64k now. In some cases, saying only 4096 bytes is maximum, it would be hoped that the libogg can provide such a ctl function to limit the maximum payload size in one ogg page.
But only until theora gets ready to 1.0 and users that have already video's they can just convert it in the appropriate format.

what about the .ogm format?

is it officially dead?

The .ogm format is a hack of ogg.
It will probably be replaced by .ogx and .ogv and .oga.

what about the .mka and .mkv ([http:://www.matroska.org matroska]) format?

someone says that vorbis streams are smaller if contained in .mka files instead of .ogg files.

Is it possible to limit the payload size using the current api?

There is only a maximum of about 64k now. In some cases, saying only 4096 bytes is maximum, it would be hoped that the libogg can provide such a ctl function to limit the maximum payload size in one ogg page.
