One consequence is that Audacity can't read Ogg files containing Opus or
Vorbis audio, or any other format delegated to FFmpeg, for example, this
file:

https://dl.espressif.com/dl/audio/ff-16b-2c-44100hz.ogg <-- downloads
with an ".ogx" extension

VLC, on the other hand, plays it fine.

Testing with the previous version of audacity (2.4.2), the .ogx file is
opened using FFmpeg, as shown in the "opening..." progress dialog box.
