It's easy enough to check and close pipes with pclose (I'll consult Stevens).

Yes, but the 'object' in this case (the FILE *) is being relinquished to 
vorbisfile, and the fact that vorbisfile has to choose amongst a number of 
possible 'destructors' is not a failure in the vorbisfile abstraction, it's 
simply pointing up that C (and the ANSI libs) can be objectified only so far.
