What is an OGA file?
.oga is the official extension for audio-only Ogg files, recommended by Xiph.Org to separate them from Ogg video. In practice it holds the same Vorbis, Opus or FLAC audio as .ogg.
OGA is mainly used for open-source software and some web apps. It plays on VLC, Firefox and Linux players; many apps do not recognise the .oga extension.
