Having looked at the Java code some more, and at the original C code, it 
seems to me that the read support is missing from the vorbis-java port. I 
can see the various write related parts from the C coded in their Java 
equivalents, but the read bits seem to be missing :/

Can someone confirm if that's the case?

Assuming so, I'm trying to decide if it's likely to be better to port the 
missing read parts from C to Java, or start again with something with a 
more "Java like" api. Having read rfc 3533, I don't think doing a 
read-only ogg layer api using Java conventions should be too hard to 
implement....
