This depends on what you want to do. For decoding, there's the Tremor
implementation (also available from xiph.org), which is fully fixed
point, and has some ARM optimisations. If you also require encoding,
the vorbis encoder is floating point, so there would be a lot of work
required to run it at reasonable speed on an ARM processor.

If you're interesting in making a fixed-point encoder, it'd be
fantastic if you contributed it, but if you just want the decoder,
tremor is what you want to look at.
