I'm making this depend on bug 17012 (system to cleanly attach source files to uploaded media); before we go adding lots more media types we really want to be able to handle the resulting file linkages in a clearer way.

(Similar handling for .mid files would probably be good, but they've been in the list since time immemorial so get a pass for now...)

Are those free enough for us? I thought there was all kinds of hideous patent stuff... but I might be thinking of other stuff.

There should be no need for anyone to upload .ogg versions of MODs; it's easy enough to render them server-side, if not in client-side JavaScript. (Is render the right word for this?)

MIDI files are different because they don't adequately specify the instruments with which they are to be played; different synthesizers (or configurations thereof) can produce vastly different sounds; MOD (and the offspring mentioned above) don't have that problem, as the instrument data is included directly in the file.

I don't think that a request to support sound file formats can depend on a request about uploading images (maybe the latter needs to be rephrased?).
