Tremor is the now BSD-licensed _fixed-point_ Ogg Vorbis decoder,
specifically geared toward processors which don't have any
floating-point capabilities. The units that do play Ogg Vorbis are not
necessarily any more powerful than the others, but of course they need
enough memory for firmware. (This actually appears to be a problem for
some units, e.g. some iRiver players have two firmware versions, one
which plays Ogg Vorbis and one which plays WMA.)
