The file you are looking at is an Ogg *Vorbis* file. It's not Opus at all.

The file at 
<https://people.xiph.org/~giles/2012/opus/ehren-paper_lights-96.opus> 
linked from <https://www.opus-codec.org/examples/> would be an example 
of an Ogg Opus file.

The header_type byte is a set of bit flags. 00 means none of them are 
set, in which case the "unset: ..." language of each flag from RFC 3533 
applies. These pages are not continued pages.

You mean page, not packet. They are different.

See above.

This is the correct value to use for header packets.

These are both correct.
