Sorry if there was a misunderstanding, when I said I wanted stuff in the tree, 
I meant the overlay. I also apologize if I sound ungrateful for getting in at 
all. I myself don't think any thing this specialized should be in the main 
tree.

I figured that without ogg support it would break some program features and 
create inconsistancies with the documentation. Also the ogg and flac 
libraries do the same thing, and I don't think flac is optional. But will see 
if I build it without those two.

I can't afford any of this hardware to test on, but I see what I can do for 
the next release.

Thanks for you time.
