In the export to lossy section its written that exporting Opus and OGG vorbis files is possible.
But why aren't they showen when trying to export something (Wave render)?

As opposed to what, statically linking these features? Let's just say it's not OpenMPT's job to provide lossy encoding. Just like there's no built-in support for MP3 as well, though that is also due to the patent status of the MP3 technology.

An folder with progams that contain the informations of the format with decoder and encoder maybe (but can't be executed)?

That explains a few things. Just found it wierd that an free open source program(OpenMPT) with support for that format(Vorbis,Opus) didn't include an decoder and encoder. Besides, lossy formats are useful, since opening seperate converter programs can become bothersome.

Besides, why using MP3 if Vorbis can be as useful or even better (on the plus side, its royalty free)?
