Any plans to have Rockbox support the new Ogg Vorbis audio file extension: .oga?

(1/1)

For those that don't know, ogg vorbis audio is now to use the extension .oga instead of .ogg.  Ogg theora is to use .ogv. 

I just updated my Sansa to the latest version of Rockbox, and it does not pick up songs ripped to .oga format.  This is now the default song ripping file format in Ubuntu, at least.  Any idea when this file extension will work in rockbox?  The format hasn't changed, so I imagine it isn't a big deal to implement.   

For now, just renaming all the files should work, but I'd prefer to use the new format.  I never liked that ogg audio and video had the same extension anyway.Does

We discussed it here a while ago:

The fact that Ubuntu does that just seems wrong - the Xiph website says that ".ogg" is still the preferred extension for vorbis files.

But it also says that oga may be used for vorbis, so I've just added it to Rockbox.  Current builds from r18932 onwards should play your files.
