I think ogg can be supported out-of-the-box (and I believe it is). Also for wav. Of course, for mp3 it will only work when the mp3-codecs are installed. Whatever codec you need, even if it's true that ogg and wav don't play out-of-the-box, we know a lot of people will install the codecs after the ubuntu system is installed.
