Yes it does. Counter to spec too, so I don't recommend it.

I guess I'm perplexed from the other end. The vorbis granulepos is in 
number of samples, so multiply by the sample rate to get a timestamp. 
The theora granulepos can be converted to the frame index, which you 
multiply by the framerate to get a timestamp. Those timestamps should 
align at playback. It's up to the player to work out how to make that 
happen.
