actually, if you build your kernel with [x] sound card support
and then enable only powermac dma support and oss sound modules,
ogg works just fine. 

set the output of xmms to oss of course - it does not work correctly
with esound. on the other hand, plaympeg only seems to sync correctly
when outputting to esound. so, you still kinda hafta play the work-around
game.
