[vorbis-dev] Problems with Vorbis & Mac OS

[Philip Derrin]

The line endings conversion might have been the problem. I got it to 
work about ten minutes ago, by using Quicktime to read the data 
instead of fread(). It does seem pretty strange for fread() to be 
doing cr/lf translation, since it's meant for reading binary data... 
but I can't think of any other possible causes.

Thanks for your help.
