Heya...yes, we resolved the issue. OGG was never the issue, the issue was the 
entire sound system.

Basically, you have to insmod the sound module after everything has loaded. 
Including the GUI. Chad Page wrote me a script which does everything that 
needs to be done.

When the 4Front guys got sound working on my 600e last year, I basically had 
to su to root then run "soundon" before sound would work.

For some reason it doesn't work if it runs during startup. Go figure.

Oh yeah, you have to unmute aumixer too, manually.
