Documentation of the plugin structure should allow 3rd party developers to add audio format support to Nero. This means that there might finally be OGG Vorbis or Musepack support available -- at least in theory. The funny thing about this is that OGG Vorbis is direct competitor of the Nero AAC Encoder. It was speculated that because of the competitive situation there would be no plug-in interface available ever, but these theories have now been proven wrong.
