I've traced a problem to line 553 of vorbisfile.c:
    if(vf->datasource)(vf->callbacks.close_func)(vf->datasource);

It seems that while the vorbisfile library does not open the file, it
does close it.  I believe that may cause problems when the vorbis
library is accessed through a DLL.  A DLL should not free a resource
that it does not own.  Is there a reason why vorbisfile closes the
file?
