There are varius DirectShow filters for play Ogg Vorbis,
I like to know what is the most used....

It can be a little tricky, because some people (including me) use a combination of them, for example: I use illiminable OggCodecs for play Ogg Vorbis but I have also installed CoreVorbis for play Vorbis streams in Matroska (OggCodecs can't do it) in this case the choice is illiminable because my question is for Ogg Vorbis, not for matroska+vobis.
You maybe use only CoreVorbis/ffdshow + Splitter, in these cases the splitter can be a standalone OggSplitter, or the Splitter included in the other filters... this is something without importance, because can be a combination of: CoreVorbis/ffdshow + OggSplitter (Gabest) / RadLight OggSplitter / Tobias OggDS. The thing is that you use CoreVorbis/ffdshow + OggSplitter.
Use Other/Combination if you use something like RadLight or Tobias + other Vorbis decoder, or another strange combination, or other filter not listed....
If you strictly use a plugin based player (ie. foobar2000, Winamp) and don't use at all DirectShow filter for playing Ogg Vorbis choose that option.

Add you personal opinion... this is not a serious poll, I just want to know what is the most used DirectShow filter or if you don't use DirectShow filters for play Ogg Vorbis.

ffdshow + Media Player Classic internal ogg splitter. :)
ffdshow tremor is based on CoreVorbis, so basically they are same.
Tobias OggDS is a bit old and buggy, latest version is 0.9.9.6, wasn't update for a long time...
RadLight Ogg Vorbis dshow decoder is good, but it have some problems too(audio skipped when start playing) and doesn't support decode speex, theora and flac yet.

Check the last version (1.0.0.2) http://www.oggmedia.info, it can decode speex and theora now, but not flac.
