[Vorbis-dev] unofficial tags

[Didier Dambrin]

I've heard a lot that it was impossible, however, while I don't know how 
vorbis encoding works, the ACM is pretty well open to anything, basically, 
you feed the decoder and you get the result, and it doesn't matter if you 
didn't feed it enough and the decoder has no result yet. You just keep 
feeding until you get the result.
Only problem may be with 32bit float output.
