[vorbis-dev] Yet another vf question...

[John Morton]

Should I ov_clear a failed ov_open/test/test_open call? 

The xmms plugin does an fclose on failure, and that seems to work, but I 
thought I ought to know for certain.

(An observation: I think the quantity of questions and bugs raised along the 
lines of "I did open file, ov_open, ov_read, close file, open another file, 
ov_read, and it exploded", or "I tried to make vorbisfile go in [some 
language with a deceptively C like stdio] and it didn't work" are probably 
due to the asymmetry in the callback set - there are callback hooks for read, 
seek, tell and close, but none for open. Is there any particular reason for 
this? (I realize it's to late in the day to fix the API in any fashion, but 
it's possible that oggfile might be able to avoid this API usability flaw.))
