FLAC is one of those codecs where the packets can be large
(10-30k)... as far as I could tell though, the nominal 4k page
size is hard-coded into libogg and there was no way to really
use a larger page size without writing a custom version of
ogg_stream_pageout(), thus exposing the app to
ogg_stream_state internals.

is this the case or is there another way of doing it entirely
with libogg?
