what the bloody hell is this ? "Ahmed Youssef" definitely isn't an author of included software, this is the old (beta4) vorbis plugin made by Xiph guys, the package also includes Vorbis Comment Editor (without any copyright info).
(not to mention that all input plugins using libvorbis beta4 should die ASAP because they don't play files encoded with RC2+ and nearly divert us)
PS. thanks to Thor for reporting shit to me.

...also, the star rating on the Nullsoft Vorbis plugin (http://www.winamp.com/plugins/detail.jhtml?componentId=60647) (by Peter) is not correct. If you go see all it's reviews you'll see nothing but 4 & 5 star ratings, but still the final rating is only 2.5 starz...
This makes the plugin look very bad and a lot of people will download the old ass beta4 plugins instead, just because they have more stars.
Please fix that too...

[edit]
As the official Nullsoft plug-in (NS/AOL _paid_ for this), and the best Vorbis plug-in available (without a doubt), I think this plugin should get some more attention, eg: make it a featured plugin for a few weeks and put it on the http://www.winamp.com/plugins/ page (under input)...
And like Peter said, make old beta4 plugins die...

and there's more:

they aren't ripped, but they no longer work with new files so we could ask their authors to remove them.
