Cool!

A couple of comments. Ogg and Vorbis are different layers. Do you have any
plans for a separate interface to the Ogg functionality? 

Also, it doesn't look like your comment parsing handles duplicate tags at
all. Maybe $oggvorbis->comment{"TAG"} should be an array reference, or
otherwise return a list? Note also that the tag names are nominally 
case-insensitive.

It also warns "invalid comment" on the vender tag in position zero, but I
suspect you know that. :)
