Description
After looking all over the internet, I found how to get OGG working with MCI, ergo it will let (play-sound) on windows play an ogg file.
From here, download this: Windows 32/64-bit Installer: opencodecs_0.85.17777.exe 2,53MB
https://www.xiph.org/dshow/downloads/ Download
Create a new file enable_ogg.reg and paste these contents in:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\MCI Extensions]
"ogg"="MPEGVideo"
then run it and done!

Verify the opencodecs download and registry steps, then document the OGG setup where Windows playback instructions belong.
