This is straightforward, sensible, and should work fine. I thought I'd
suggest an alternative though - you pick which you prefer.

The idea is this: you have 3 vorbis streams (in a single file. Creating
this can be as easy as "cat intro.ogg main.ogg outro.ogg > full.ogg").

Then, you just play through - when you hit EOS (end of stream, _not_ end
of file), you can then make a decision - either loop back to the start
(normally), or continue on (when you want to go from intro->main, or 
main->outro). 

In some ways this is more complex, but in other ways it's a more natural
fit to your problem. There's no substantial advantage either way.
