Why do you want to look at the bitrate of each individual packet? 

You can certainly do all of what you want without using vorbisfile. I'm
not sure exactly what it is you want to do, though.

If you only want to make things work faster, try looking at ov_test(), and
ov_test_open(). That might be an easier way to do it.
