Well, maybe that's just slave, and the master is also down/dead.
When I earlier checked, of their two authoritative nameservers, only
one was responding.  Let's see ...
$ dig @ns1.xiph.org. +noall +norecurse +answer +multiline xiph.org. SOA
xiph.org.               259200 IN SOA mf4.xiph.org. hostmaster.xiph.org. (
                                 2020050604 ; serial
                                 3600       ; refresh (1 hour)
                                 900        ; retry (15 minutes)
                                 604800     ; expire (1 week)
                                 3600       ; minimum (1 hour)
                                 )
$ dig @mf4.xiph.org. +noall +norecurse +answer xiph.org. NS
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
$
If their DNS is to believed, their master is down/offline ... or may
just not be publicly accessible.  Expire value implies the data could
go bye-bye relatively soon.  However the serial implies some recent
signs of life.
