[vorbis-dev] access violation in ov_open using VC6

[Rob D]

When I first added the libs (v1.0?) to my Win32 player, I had problems as 
well. I tried several different ways to get it to work properly with a 
static multithreaded lib. I finally ended up compiling my own static 
multithreaded in debug and release versions from the source code and it 
worked the first time.
