Technically speaking, I think you can also use a greedy algorithm and
always write out granulepos=-1 pages as soon as you get them, since by
definition all you know is that they must come between two marked
pages from that same logical stream. The delay-until-the next
timestamp suggestion ogg.k made is more likely to be optimal in the
future though, if we ever block the packed+spanning packets case.
