Hi All, just wanted to add that I am cross compiling on Mac OS with  
mingw in Xcode (for Windows), and my lib list under Project Settings- 
 >Other Linker Flags has to go:

-lvorbisfile -lvorbisenc -lvorbis -logg

which seems backwards to me.  I originally had ogg then vorbis.  It  
took me several hours of bashing my head against linker errors before  
I finally stumbled upon this solution in a forum.  Ideally, it would  
be nice if ogg vorbis could link in any order.  So if gcc is "smart"  
and ming is "dumb" then I think it should be programmed to work  
intuitively in the dumb case since the smart linkers can take care of  
themselves.  (unless as with politicians there are similar numbers of  
smart and dumb...)
