If you do commands below you should see an 'f' in the Format: field. This means "no bit depth". You will also notice that mediainfo on the file does not report a bit depth.
Code:telnet localist 6600
lsinfo "PATH_TO_FILE_RELATIVE_TO_MPD_MUSIC_ROOT"

Interesting. I guess I just never looked, partly because .ogg files are containers which can contain all kinds of streams, both lossy (like Vorbis) and lossless (like FLAC). It's not just the lossy-ness at issue here; MP3 is lossy too but we get more accurate info (e.g., VBR compression).
In any case, "f" is a curious indicator for "no bit depth". That's what struck me as funny.
