[vorbis-dev] use of 'long' in vorbis structures

My mistake.  Haven't built any code on an alpha in about seven years, guess
I forgot that detail.

But if I recall correctly, up until a few years ago the SGI Irix systems
(which is the 64-bit OS I'm most familiar with) we used still had 32-bit
longs.

        li      $2, 4

Oh well, live and learn.
