Okay - I now have some more detailed comments :)

First of all, I believe the *-config scripts should go into the '-devel'
packages. There is no reason to have it in the 'main' package (you only need
it if you are doing "development" stuff). All packages I know of do this (see
xmms, gtk, glib, etc.

Secondly, the /usr/bin/vorbis-config is not in the libvorbis.spec file. Could
you add it?

Third of all, the examples directory doesn't compile (which prevents libvorbis
compilation). In the Makefile.am I had to append $(OGG_LIBS) to LD_ADD,
chaining_examples_LDADD, vorbisfile_example_LDADD, and seeking_example_LDADD

Could somebody please fix these issues? :)
