Hmm, how about simply sorting the pages (not packets, we're talking Ogg
not Vorbis, my bad) by their starting time. That way the next page in
the stream is always the one the decoder needs next.

As far as I can see at the moment that should be the most efficient, as
there are never pages that aren't directly needed in the buffer.
