[vorbis-dev] Suggestion for libvorbisfile: scaling

Vorbis is natively float based.  ov_read_float will be quite a bit
faster than ov_read, since it won't have the huge float->int conversion,
etc (note that on x86, the float->int conversion is in assembler so it's
pretty fast).

ov_read() 's conversion is still one of the slower functions on decode,
especially on PPC it seems.
