I wasn't sure that was all finalized. I found the only mention of it
in that email thread
(http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/ogg-dev/2008-February/000891.html),
which I wasn't sure was final. Happy to have that confirmed, thanks.

We might want to put it somewhere "official" and make a diagram like
these at http://svn.annodex.net/liboggz/trunk/src/liboggz/oggz_auto.h
for the header.

I also wanted to extract the position of the "version" field. From the
pdf at http://dirac.sourceforge.net/specification.html and from the
code at https://core.fluendo.com/carid/svn/trunk/schroedinger/tools/dump_packets.c,
I am assuming it is at char[4,2] - major version & char[6,2] - minor
version, but please correct me if I have misread. This info should go
into http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/MIMETypesCodecs.

Cheers,
Silvia.
