I suppose this probably won't come to a surprise to anyone, but if I 
comment out the checksum checking in framing.c, I still can't decode 
these files. ogginfo gives a different offset for the "hole in data" and 
also these additional warnings:

Warning: sequence number gap in stream 1. Got page 13 when expecting 
page 2. Indicates missing data.
Warning: discontinuity in stream (1)

I didn't think the fix could be that simple, but I thought I'd mention 
my experiment.
