IANAGuru, but it sounds as though you are trying to 'keep' the ogg 
packet pointer you get from ogg_stream_packetout(). This is not possible 
- it is only a pointer to data inside the stream, and will most likely 
be invalidated as soon as you add another page into the stream.

The code in player_example.c correctly handles packets before touching 
the stream again.

This was certainly I problem I encountered getting a decoder working - I 
hope this helps!
