There's a hack with the granulepos to facilitate streaming: the 
lower-order bits are always zero. The field is treated something like a 
fixed-point number, with the fractional part incremented on P frames 
and the integral part incremented only for key frames. Where exactly 
the radix is is encoded as part of the packet header (the log of 
keyframe_frequency_force) so you'll still have to pass that up from the 
decoder.

Hope that helps,

P.S. I've cc'd theora-dev, which is a more appropriate venue for this 
thread
