The Vorbis in Flash (10) examples that Erik linked to
above were
created by reimplementing Vorbis decoding in other programming
languages specifically targeted at flash. While that approach is
likely to produce higher performance results it takes a large amount
of developer resources to create and maintain. With Alchemy Flash can
make use of the existing reference code.
Both are definitely worth looking into. I think performance should be
a key criterion here - we want something that can play on low end
systems at reasonable load levels. I've reached out to the developers
of the aforementioned implementations to see if they're interested in
helping towards getting this to run on Wikimedia; if you see
developers working on related projects for Vorbis & Theora, please let
me know.
