Only native FLAC files are supported (not FLAC in Ogg), and no Matroska support. Part of me thinks it would be nice to allow any codec in any container, but don't forget that Rockbox is an embedded system running on devices with limited CPU and RAM - so is the gain worth the complication? There's a feature request on flyspray for Matroska support: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5280 But no-one seems interested in it - at least, no-one has commented there. Dae.
