[vorbis-dev] Adding Comments to OGG files

vorbisfile is a read-only API.  It does not support making modifications
to Ogg files and resaving them.  You should look at vorbiscomment in the
vorbis-tools package for an example of how to modify the comments on an
existing Ogg file.  vcedit.c and vcedit.h show how to do that.
