That's right.

Really? Someone has an off-by-one somewhere.

Correct. The granulepos is derived from the count of decodeable
frames. So the granulepos is:

first frame 1:0 (keyframe)
second frame 1:1
third frame 1:2
 ...
80th frame 80:0 (keyframe)
81st frame 80:1
 ...
90th frame 80:10

Are you counting frames from 0 instead of 1 somewhere? I try to think
of 'frame index' which starts from zero and 'frame count' which starts
from 1, similar to the normal index and bounds in C 'for' loops. The
granulepos records the count, not the index.

FWIW,
