File-size doesn't really matter. And as long as the sounds have the same filenames of the sounds they're replacing, you shouldn't need a coder.

Awesome

I'm not entirely sure, but if you ogg the sounds, the tables and/or mission files may need to be tweaked. But as it was discussed, you do the sounds; someone will take care of the rest.

I think the music tables were reliant on the filesize, but I don't think that's the case for effects, I'll have to look at some point, but I'm pretty sure it's just an Integer/Filename reference list.

Kind of weird that, after 8+ years of Freespace, I've never actually looked into this particularly deeply...

Looking forward to having a listen to these new sounds

You'll want to look through the sounds.tbl to see what the used sounds are.  Sounds specific to a ship or a weapon have a sound index in the sounds.tbl and the weapons.tbl, you can reference that against the sounds.tbl file to see what's what.

Ogg isn't really specific enough, it's not a codec it's a container.  The actual codec supported is Vorbis, in an ogg capsule.  I have seen some mods for instance using 128kbps, 44khz vorbis audio files.

Okay, I've just been making high quality wavs for now, to save a loss in quality. I will sort out codecs afterwards or if someone wants to help they can sort that out.
