More specificly, Enigma uses SDL_mixer. This has support for several 
formats, but the only relevants ones are (wav and ogg vorbis).
The sounds must be wav files. The system can play Vorbis data in an ogg 
container file, but would mean Enigma would require a version of SDL_mixer 
where Vorbis support was compiled in. That only happens if SDL_mixer was 
compiled on a system with those libraries. I have no idea what distributions 
have vorbis support compiled into their SDL_mixer.

Anybody with a version without support would hear nothing when an ogg sound 
effect was to be played.
