Please, inform us of any 'obvious mistakes'.

Packet extraction and packet decode are decoupled in Ogg; completely
losing packet sync is an indication your page decode is incorrect, at
which point trying to decode the incorrectly extracted packets is a
futile exercise.

As for 'test files', no we don't have an official set.  For the most
part, out debugging strategy is to use diagnostic output from the
encoder and match that to diagnotic output from the decode.
