It seems for me information in vorbis-clip.txt mostly concerns to extraction
a part
of a Vorbis file and saving it to another file, but not appending one file
to another.
Or i am wrong?

vorbis-clip.txt says
"These segments are 'atomic' that is, one must recover the entire short time
segment
from the frame packet". It can be undestand as frame packets are
independent.
If they are not independent, how it can affects on appending operation?

One more question. Can one determine exact parameters  (i iterested in
quality value)
being used to encode a particular file? For example, i want to open a
file and make recording to the end of the file with encoding parameters of
the file.

Thanks.

Vitaly.
