For what it's worth, a successful open looks like this:
[Ogg] stream 0: audio (Vorbis), -aid 0
Ogg file format detected.
==========================================================================
Trying to force audio codec driver family libmad...

I know you need at least libvorbis0a and libmad0 to play an ogg file, but
when I remove the shared library, I don't get the same error as you, so
that's probably not what's wrong. Still, it's worth a version check:
ii libvorbis0a 1.1.0-1 The Vorbis
General Audio Compression Codec
ii libmad0 0.15.1b-2.1 MPEG audio
decoder library
ii mplayer-586 1.0-pre7cvs20050716-0.1 The Ultimate
Movie Player For Linux
One other thing you might check: check your config files for defaults that
might not make sense.
My Swedish is non-existent, but it seems a work-around is available. See
the thread at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-swedish/2005/05/msg00001.html. Check
out the first reply. It seems you need to edit your codecs.conf as shown.
However, according to http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs-status.html, you
should be able to play that format using libvorbis, so perhaps a reinstall
of libvorbis, and possibly mplayer, is in order.
By the way, if you google on "audio codec 0x73627276" (without the quotes),
you should get quite a few hits, and perhaps one of them is in a language
you understand better than Swedish. ;-)
Good luck,
Justin Guerin
