I'd consider the fallback position to be transcoding at the server.

We may eventually see a less demanding encoder for Ogg. Until then, we can transcode to flac (which we can play natively) without any further loss of quality.

Once I finish the integration and testing of the new tag parsing machinery for jrec I'll be returning to fix jrec bugs and to test ogg->flac and ogg->mp3 transcoding.
