[vorbis-dev] Will Vorbis happily decode packets with random data?

[Scott Manley]

I'm searching for a similar trick for checking files to be added to
myplay.

Ummm - isn't this a bad idea if the files is designed to exploit a
buffer overflow in the decoder? Unless your scanning server is running
in a non-target environment?
