Yes that's fine. There wouldn't be any point to having pages if they 
weren't different from packets, and as you suggest, it's necessary to 
keep the overhead down.

It's actually pages that have granulepos. The granulepos in the packet 
structure is just how they're passed to the ogg layer. Granulepos is 
'the total samples encoded after including all packets finished on this 
page', so libogg sets the page granulepos to the greatest granulepos of 
the packets that ended on that page.

Help?
