Since someone already determined 0x676f is vorbis, you can try using
the commandline mplayer and force the audio codec to vorbis:
"mplayer -ad vorbis somefile" should do the trick.
If your mplayer is compiled without vorbis support you'd need to
get a newer package, or compile it yourself (You didn't state which
exact version of mplayer you are using AFAICS).

BTW, "mplayer -ac help" will list all supported audio codecs.

Hmm, looking at my codecs.conf, 0x566f is supposed to be vorbis
here and 0x676f is not listed here.
