The Ogg layer contains the sync and serialno information Vorbis needs;
I assume some other container formats could try to emulate all this, but
why bother?  Just wrap the Ogg stream inside the "native" container.

Or fix the apps to recognize Ogg as a first class container format :-)
(For example, that's what my Quicktime Vorbis importer stuff(**) does).
