   Gnash can already handle both Ogg and Theora as external files just 
fine. We're also modifying Ming to be able to generate swf files with 
Ogg and Theora as embedded data. This requires extending the swf spec in 
a way that still says compatible for FLV, ON2, and MP3.

   To go along with this, I've been working on a clone of the Adobe 
Media  Server, so we can steam free codecs. Right now you can only do 
this with icecast, but it doesn't speak the flash protocols, which Gnash 
now supports.
