The Ogg specification requires the "OggS" at the start of every page
(generally, roughly ever 4 kB throughout the file).

Whilst it would be possible to change this (and the other things you're
looking for), we're not going to help you do it - if you want to do stuff that
you're not allowed to do, you can go to the effort of figuring it all out
yourself. It's easy enough (various places in libvorbis and libogg).
