Yay.

If you control the encoder you can call theora_packet_iskeyframe() on 
each packet libtheora returns; then loop while(ogg_stream_flush()) 
{my_write_page();} before submitting a keyframe packet for pagination.

Otherwise, you'll have to repage the stream (e.g. if you're writing a 
cut stream to disk) and/or fix your decoder to skip to the next 
keyframe.
