You can reach inside the vorbis_block and pluck out the oggpack_buffer
if you like.... It'll still be owned memory, but if you're moving
between machines, it's a copy regardless.

Otherwise, we'll need a call to use seperate oggpack_buffers and
that's one more thing for the encoder to keep track of (perhaps not a
bad thing).
