This is pretty easy to do. Just hook up an encoder to a decoder, and measure 
how many samples you've put in before you start getting samples out.

Note that for low-latency, the ogg layer is going to be causing you lots of 
problems - vorbis itself doesn't have particularly high latency, but because 
of the multiple vorbis packets per ogg page, the latency gets pretty high.
