[vorbis-dev] vorbisfile close and memory callbacks

[Brett Paterson]

it might be a good idea to remove close_func from the vorbisfile callbacks,
or do a null check if the user doesnt want vorbis to close the file?
We open the file ourselves, so it seems strange that vorbisfile closes it
without permission :)
currently this is the hack i use to stop vorbis file from closing my file

vf.datasource = NULL;  // this stops vorbis from trying to close our file
ov_clear(&vf);

otherwise it will crash trying to close a previously closed and freed handle
(my streamer logic has always opened and closed the file itself, or it may
want to keep the file open!).

Another idea i thought might be nice is memory allocation callbacks?  I and
many other projects probably use their own memory manager for debugging
purposes etc, and because ogg/vorbis allocates memory with stdlib it makes
it hard to track memory..  (on consoles this is especially important)

thanks
Brett
