The problem was located.  I was doing as this:

theora_encode_comment(&tc, &header_p);
theora_encode_comment(&tc, &comment_p);
theora_encode_comment(&tc, &tables_p);
packin_and_write_out(header_p, comment_p, tables_p);

I thinks this mustn't be wrong, but it is. After the encode(tables_p),
I don't know why, the header_p gets crazy. Changing to the way that
everyone seems to do:

theora_encode_comment(&tc, &header_p);
do_something_with_your_packet_because_you_will_lose_it(header);
theora_encode_comment(&tc, &comment_p);
theora_encode_comment(&tc, &tables_p);
do_something_with_your_packets_because_you_will_lose_them(comment_p, tables_p);

things worked correctly. I'll try to do some more tests to find out
what is happening to the packet; looking at ogg_packet structure it
seems to me quite odd that it gets crazy that way, it sounds like a
ogg bug...

Thank you,
