Downloaded the various libraries and vorbistools last night in source
files (tar.gz) from www.ogg.org last night.  Lo and behold, when unpacked
they proved to have a "debian" directory to enable the building of
packages ;-)  With a little tweaking of *rules files it proved possible
to compile 'em on my potato box here.  It's very nice!!  Xmms plays the
.ogg format as does Freeamp.

Thanks for encouraging me towards this ;-)
