You might want to take the code from ogginfo (in the vorbis-tools
package).  It does exactly what you describe, but throws away each vorbis
packet after it is extracted from the Ogg bitstream.  Insert your bitrate
checking code where you see the comment:

/* Normally we would do decode here, but we're just checking
   packet integrity */
