ogg does no compression. It just defines how to pack data into packages. This data can be vorbis compressed, flac or probably even raw audio data.
That's interesting, especially if uncompressed audio is supported by all ogg compatible command line applications. Does ogg support multiple (uncompressed) audio channels (more than two)?
At the moment raw audio is not supported, it seems. But in the end the ogg format is publicly available so it would be possible to put raw audio data (even multichannel) into it. Another solution would be to use flac. This (lossless) format is currently being integrated into the ogg bitstreams. But his still requires more or less CPU intensive compression. The question is whether we wan't to make everybody happy with our multichannel streaming format or just the Pd users. In the latter case we could just invent anything within Pd or debug streamin/out~.
