The code in the ogg-tools dir in SVN should be pretty clear.  There is a
file that takes MIDI input and outputs ogg pages, and then a program
called oggmerge which merges these two ogg files into a combined stream.
There is also an example player with basic features that plays these
files.  You should be able to start from this and get something working
without having to dig too deep.

We're currently speccing out and writing liboggfile which will make this
whole process of playing multi-logical stream streams much easier, so
you won't have to wait too long until the playback tools are up to
speed.

Ralph and I wrote most of the code in ogg-tools, so if you have a
question, just ask here, and we'll try to help you out.
