well.. I have OggPlay v0.7 (excellent peice of software, certainly for the books).
First thing u have to rememebr is that Playing Oggs really places EXTREMELY heavy demands on the processor (I dont think the Nokia Series 60 phones can handle it yet, as their processors are slower). Its significantly greater than playing an MP3. Already the processor is almost at its threashold, and ANY other task that demands anythign from the processor is going to steal some processor cycles from the OGG player. Because of limited memory on the P800 compared to a PC, there is not enough space to add a larger buffer to compensate.
This is what causes the clicks.. normally when u open the flip, or switch tasks, u hear a definate "click" or breakup. v0.7 improves this, but its still there. The fact u get a click every two seconds, sounds liek some task you have is runnign in the background and constanly pinging the processor every 2 seconds. Another posibility is that there may be a device constanly disovering bluetooth services? (this will chew some cycles too).
Lastly, have a look at the way the Ogg files are created. maybe the encoder is introducing those clicks? Try the following, use WinLAME encoder, and encode a wav file straight from CD at 64kbps. see if you still get the clicks.
@if the developer of OggPlay is reading this.. how about implementing the Ogg playback engine as a media server? that way it may get better processor utilisation, cutting the breakups?

@dubbs - Have you a phone number for Fleet Comms, and will they do upgrade by post?

OK guys,
Testing whilst I am here. No ogg player loaded, running nothing more than Handy day 80k, Applications 76k and phone 728k. Put in the supplied handsfree headphones and I and getting a click noise every second (just timed it with my PC system clock). I've installed a file converter onthe PC for MP3 to OGG and have converted a 192kbps track to ogg. This track has been played on my PC (as an OGG) and it sounds as good as the original. Playing the same files on the P800 and it sounds like the song is being played in a can/tunnel/take pick! All echoey and almost incoherent. Here's the confusing bit.... taking the headphones out of the phone and then playing the track through the loudspeaker and it sounds fine (no bass and a bit tinny but that's because of the speaker quality).
ANY IDEAS?????
In response to firmware upgrade by post:
I don't see any reason why they shouldn't.
Don't have a number handy but they are:
Fleet Mobile Comms,
77 Avery Hill Rd,
New Eltham
SE9 2BJ
I just walked in and left phone for 40 mins.
