There have been several hints here regarding Ogg Vorbis (.ogg) playback in QuickTime and iTunes. This new Universal plug-in also includes playback within Safari.

You will need to restart Safari after the installer runs. If it doesn't work, you can verify the installation under Quicktime's Advanced tab in the System Preferences. Open MIME Settings, and check the Ogg Multimedia Bitstream option under Video. If the Ogg option is not present after the installer runs, a system restart will be required.

Here's a list of Ogg Vorbis test files. Note that Ogg Vorbis playback does not function within the Firefox browser.
