How do I play an ogg vorbis file in Silverlight?

I'd like to play back ogg vorbis audio from http in Silverlight. What do I need to make this happen?

Solution

  • A better answer than "Silverlight doesn't support Ogg Vorbis" is to say that Silverlight doesn't support playing them natively. As one of the other commenters pointed out, a way to play them is described at http://veritas-vos-liberabit.com/monogatari/2009/03/moonvorbis.html, with the current source for CSVorbis available at https://github.com/mono/csvorbis. You would indeed need to implement a MediaStreamSource to play the resulting PCM stream, but that's not rocket science.
