ov_read() will decode up to one packet or the buffer size, whichever is 
smaller. Typical packets in vorbis files are 2048 samples long. You only get 
half of this per packet (because they're overlapped) - so 1024 samples. For 
stereo/16 bit decode, that's 4096 bytes. If you want to decode more than 
this, you should loop over ov_read()
