You _could_ do this, but it's difficult. There are quite a few special cases 
you'd need to get right. You should read the spec (ogg spec, and the relevant 
bits on embedding into ogg and the headers of the vorbis spec) if you want to 
do this.

You could also come to the realisation (as have other people who have looked 
into doing this) that a parallel vorbis encoder really isn't that useful, 
given the encoder speed relative to current (or even somewhat old) cpu 
speeds.
