Your comment hack will work, but is, well, a hack.  You can look at the
oggmidi work that is in CVS (including specs and tools) to get some idea
of how to do a similar thing.  You should also just bootstrap from MIDI
by responding to midi messages, but two things should be noted:

normal vorbis players can't handle multi codec streams right now (will
be solved soon).  And Icecast can't stream them, although you could
solve this yourself easily.

Since you are going to be writing your own player to interpret the
comments, your hack is the quickest way to do this.  If it's for some
wider distribution, your hack is probably not appropriate and you should
do it the right way.
