I am looking to use ogg vorbis, instead of mp3s to stream audio. It seems that Flash player does not natively support ogg. Is there a codec engine that can be embedded with the app itself that can play .ogg instead of .mp3?

In general, what would be a better format than mp3 for streaming audio and that is supported by Flash?
