[vorbis] a few questions

[Andrew Voznytsa]

yes, i've implemented some RTSP/RTP clients and i'm agree with you that all
this info is needed for streaming too. but also it's needed for synchronous
local playback of multiple streams.

could anyone tell me how can i get this info from vorbis stream and is it
possible to force vorbis decoder work by scheme which i've described below ?
as i understand, firts thing which i need it's spec of raw bitstream.
