That was my intent.  The sound system for my game engine is using Vorbis for 
the music, loaded from a zip file ala Q3A, and I need to determine how much 
memory to allocate for the uncompressed file.

I'm going to try using the header+granulepos approach.  It just means I'll 
have to make two passes through the file: one quick read through the pages to 
calculate the total size, then a second pass to decode it into memory.

Thanks for the replies.
