[theora] Reading audio data from an .ogv video

[Chris Pearce]

Chris Double has a blog post outlining A/V sync in a simple ogg player:
http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2009/06/27/playing-ogg-files-with-audio-and-video.html

If you're interested I took his code and added seeking support, and it's 
available here:
https://github.com/cpearce/plogg
(There are a few bugs in the seeking code I've not fixed, but it works 
most of the time).
