This summer I worked on for wikipeida (paid for by google soc) to extend
mediaWiki’s functionality to support the embedding of ogg audio/video
streams. Currently it uses a java or vlc based browser plugin to render
in-line ogg media
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Embed_Media

We at wikipedia and other open media (open coalition
http://openmediacoalition.org/index.php/Main_Page) projects feel it
would be ideal if firefox had native support for ogg theora playback. To
that end we have detailed the features of a browser component
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Firefox_Ogg_Support
and started working with the VLC developers towards that end. There are
likely elements that could be supported from the Mozilla side of
development but the technical details have not been fully established.

Taking advantage of the vlc architecture we aim to enable client side
conversion to ogg theora for uploading ogg files or live ogg streams
from the browser. Also we hope to enable things like DOM level access to
embedded xml in the ogg stream (using cmml)
http://www.annodex.net/TR/draft-pfeiffer-cmml-01.html

These extended features are part of the larger project of making the
mozilla platform more multimedia friendly.

We will continue development on the browser plug-in/extension with the
above mentioned feature set and rally for its inclusion into firefox. If
any mozilla developers are interested come by #videolan or email me.

If there are resources to further this goal or if Mozilla is interested
in making it part of the set of browser technologies that they support
we would be *interested* in hearing about the process.
