I am not sure it will replace it, but there are two good reasons it could be competitive:
a) It sounds better
b) It is license-free
I think the odds are good that OGG will be on par with MP3 within 2 or 3 years.

I understand that you are very proud of being a U.S. citizen (that shows), but how do you envision these rules being "imposed"?
For example, what will happen if the gov't actually listens to your advice and prohibits software and IT imports by U.S.-based companies? Well -- within weeks many companies will reincorporate offshore to avoid this restriction. More jobs will be moved offshore and you'll loose out on taxes, too.
So, military might is great, of course, but being "on top" it doesn't mean you can control *everything*.
I love it when Americans want to have to both ways - global economy when it fits them and completely protectionist one when it doesn't.
Does it ever occur to you that when you export U.S. goods and services overseas, it means somebody overseas has already lost *their* job because *you* took it from them? Do you have a problem with that? I didn't think so... But if not, how can you have a problem when it happens the other way around?
So - yeah, you own this country, but if you want to sell globally (and believe me, you DO - that's exactly how America is able to thrive in a world that's much poorer on average), you have to play by the global rules.
