There's a lot of discussion about Archos and ogg on that site. Apparently
hardware limitations prevent it from playing oggs.

The only player I know of which will do ogg is the Neuros. It doesn't
do them yet, but a firmware upgrade has been announced which will
support them. <http://neurosaudio.com/>. Of course, it's double the
price of the competition ;-)
