Speex, Ogg, Flac sound support/integration?

[Phentax]

Wassup everybody,
Been using OO on windows XP for about a year and a half now and it's working flawlessly so far. I use writer alot for papers and the 'record changes', 'note/comments', and the 'properties' options are great for editing (if the other person has Open Office). Although the entire suite has the ability to insert sound, it doesn't seem to support Speex, Vorbis and Flac. Is there a way to embed a sound file or these sound formats into OO documents? Or to have them play back automatically? Maybe with an integrated opensource audio player?
Such a feature would be great in Writer and in Impress, especially as an accessibilty tool or for media rich documents. Writer could have the option to highlight text and playback a speex audio file (since it's speech only) with a user defined synchronization setting (kinda like a Karaoke video text). This could make Writer documents more accessible for the visually impaired and gives authors more room for creative and personalized audio-visual documents (which could be an alternative to PDFs). Since speex generates generally small files (depending on its setting - can be 100kb per min), audio content can be embedded into Openoffice files and emailed as one package and played back on an integrated player. Comments and Notes could be added by those who review documents or edit.
For Impress both Vorbis or Speex can be integrated so that presentations contain auto dictation and even music (ogg vorbis). If Flac is used then presentations can be given on CD. The audio codec support could even be embedded into self contained playback executables (cross platform maybe?), packages or something along the lines of shockwave or flash. This would be a great way to promote opensource codecs and more open formats .
Well those are just my two cents on possible features for an already great office suite. Looking forward to seeing continual developments and progress from this great application and community. PEACE.

Your best bet for asking for new features is to fill in a feature request at the main OpenOffice.org site:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html

You'll need to be registered. Registration is free, and allows you to get e-mail updates when your request is actioned.
