I guess I only focused on what xiph officially "promotes", and OGM isn't quite part of that. :)

Well, actually most OGM files do have a subtitle track, often in 
multiple langauges.

Also, re 2. Keyframe seeking in OGM is generally a bit rough because ogm 
files can contain almost any codec as the video track, usually xvid or divx.

re 1. As a general rule you shouldn't be trying to make any more ogm 
files :) So chances are the ogg muxer is not accepting the connection, 
because it wants to make OGG files not OGM files.

OGM files don't have theora streams (well technically they could, but 
they almost never do)

As for more specifics about gstreamer... i'm afraid i don't know. Maybe 
there is an OGM muxer.

Zen.

So, if you use anxrip on a ogg+skeleton+theora+vorbis+CMML file (which is an Annodex video), you will be able to get the text out using anxrip or if you are searching for a library, using libannodex.
