#1054: News Reader won't play downloaded ogg audio file

 Ran News Reader, waited for it to update its feeds, waited for it to
 download the first thing it chose to (LugRadio "Greasy Earring Blasters",
 Mon Mar 12, 2007"), s 43MB file advertised in Ogg.  It gave % progress
 reports on the download (and wouldn't let me start playing the file until
 the whole thing was there).  When it arrived, the entry changed to include
 an "Open" link, but that didn't play the file.  I noticed a ">", a play
 symbol in a circle, at the top of the window, so I tried pressing that
 too.  It produced a pop-up error message (in a window annotated with a
 tiny font):

 (tiny)  Unknown file type
 (big)   Gstreamer did not recognize this file. (email owen-olpc at ywwg.com
 for more info)
 (big)
 OK?

 Methinks there should be some obvious way to play audio files if this tool
 is going to spend the bandwidth to download them on speculation.
