That's a generic error message in QtopiaMediaProvider::createSession() which
results from any error in the call to:

    QMediaServerSession*    mediaSession = d->sessionManager->createSession(request);

Unfortunately I'm not a C++ programmer so I'm pretty much lost after
that point!

That's bizzare - according to qtopia/etc/mime.types we have:

audio/ogg           oga
audio/ogg+vorbis    ogg

and the Tremor Ogg plugin appears to register itself as knowing about
audio/ogg+vorbis by doing this:

	d->mimeTypes << "audio/ogg+vorbis";

The desktop file for the media player should now make it believe it can
handle both audio/ogg and audio/ogg+vorbis.

So I would have thought it would recognise audio/ogg and audio/ogg+vorbis
as audio files and, if anything, not be able to handle a .oga file by handle
the .ogg files (as the MIME types match).  Perhaps the second part is why the
error occurs ?

Very very peculiar!  I'm out of ideas for now - anyone else ?

cheers,
Chris
