Idea: how about:

$ vorbis-comment --list file.ogg > comments
$ cat comments
1 KEY1 val1
2 KEY2 val2
3 KEY3 val3
$ (cat comments; echo "4 KEY4 val4") | vorbis-comment replace - file.og
$ vorbis-comment --list file.ogg
1 KEY1 val1
2 KEY2 val2
3 KEY3 val3
4 KEY4 val4

Then the shell script or whatever can do _all_ the grunt work. Better yet, this
is easily parsed and added to / removed (e.g., pipe into sed). Look good?
