Incorrect -- each *page* has a granulepos.  The data packet itself starts with a zero (one == header packet), then there's a 'predicted' bit (0=keyframe), etc -- no granulepos at all, that's an Ogg thing.

It occurs to me that as it stands, there is actually no way to even get to the second frame in a page without parsing through the whole first frame and so on.  There isn't even a bytecount or anything to skip frames -- that info is buried deep within the bitstream structure.

<p>> those are being set correctly. Not sure however if there are
