Hi, Silvia. I studied your multi-track work when I was working on
ALingA. It was a valuable guide.
No, libogg++ tries to be agnostic about codecs. As I understand it, the
Ogg format is inherently multi-track, but does not mandate any
particular multi-track protocol.

ALingA is a multitrack format
(http://www.ihear.com/dtds/ALingA/0.1/ALingA.dtd) which has a skeleton
track (what I call the co-ordinating stream), but one that is very
specific, and based on the notion of a Manifold. It is implemented in
the separate library libalinga, subclassing libogg++ to do the Ogg
stuff

libogg++, libalinga and libneuro are all agnostic about whether the
signal streams are audio or video or not. These libraries are aimed at
analytical processing, and not at online multimedia. They defer to
applications to conform to MIME naming.

I appreciate your interest, and would be happy to answer more.
