Yes, and no.  The ogg, or ogm file is a container.  We tend to expect to
find vorbis or theora data inside them, but they can contain other
formats.

Though I'm surprised to find a Windows format inside an ogm container,
it could just be that the author needed to wrap a file in a descriptive
container, of some sort, and didn't want to transcode the data.  Or, it
simply worked for them, and they never knew it might be a problem.
