The reason for my question is that in order to make ogg + the various
xiph codecs interesting to vendors (who in many cases need to port the
codecs to a dsp or optimize them with some asm), it would be great to
support the testing. For that one would need conformance tests (don't
crash, play or error out) and a set of robustness tests (don't crash).
The later is mainly needed for ogg and maybe for the bitstreams.
