	mpg123 isn't free ?!?  When did this happen? And now
mpg321... What did I miss?!? ;-)  

	I looked up Vorbis (Ogg) with my trusty google - the vorbis
library seems to be a codec, so I wouldn't think you'd want NAS support in
there, but in the player using vorbis itself... Am I looking at the right
vorbis?

	I had *heard* it was a fairly simple library for playing samples,
and it had an endianess problem with remote hosts (non-intel).  This was
awhile ago so things may have changed.  How about Erik's libaudiooss?  
Wouldn't that work pretty well?  Or we could just add NAS support to
mpg321 (or whatever)...
