Ogg-Vorbis support is on the wish list. It looks like it would be very 
straight forward to implement (easier than mp3s, actually) but since I 
don't have any ogg files, it's not a personal priority. If anyone wants 
to write a C function to extract the tagging info from ogg files let me 
know and I'll give them the specs.

The best GUI CD ripper for Linux is Asunder (and yes, I'm willing to 
risk a flame war with an absolute statement :-) ). It supports ogg, mp3, 
aac, flac, and some formats I've never heard of. It can even create 
multiple formats to the same directory so you could, for example, rip to 
lossless flac for your high end stereo and low bit rate mp3 for your 
portable player in a single rip. And it supports tag editing before the rip.
