[vorbis] Average Bitrate Calculation

[Ross Levis]

Hi Michael

I have already managed to calculate the "total number of seconds" or duration (well only assuming one logical stream), however, I can't find any info on where the "length (in bytes) of the logical stream" is located.  I'm not very fluent in C.  Can you please point in the right direction.

Thanks,
Ross Levis.
