I think SW Republic Commando sounds were stored in Vorbis. Back then.

I use Opus when I rip something. It's been a long time since the last case. I've left FreeBSD for Linux and returned back to ~~Linux~~ FreeBSD again since then.

Unreal Tournament also used Vorbis starting from either 2003 or 2004.
