I don't really have time to look at your code right now (if you haven't
figured out a solution by tomorrow, I'll try to take a look then).
However, you should probably be using vorbisfile rather than directly
using libvorbis. This basically makes all the difficult bits get hidden,
and it's unlikely that you need access to the more complex parts. A 
decoder using vorbisfile shouldn't be more than a couple of dozen lines
(if that). See vorbisfile_example.c

You find the final page of the logical stream, and look at the 
granulepos value for that page. If it's a single logical stream, this 
is pretty simple. For chained streams, it's relatively complex.
Vorbisfile does all this for both cases (as long as the file is seekable).
