[vorbis] Visual Studio .NET

[John Lundy]

Check the project settings and find Struct Member Alignment. All the Ogg
Vorbis precompiled runtimes are compiled with 8 byte alignment. If your
projects are being compiled with another byte alignment, you will probably
crash when linked to the runtimes.

<opinion>
In fact, the Ogg Vorbis sources *should* have some form of alignment
specification around all the structures declared in the header files. Like
#pragma pack(push, 8) (yes I know this form does not exist on all platforms
however at least a comment should appear in the headers to make the
preferred alignment known). I proposed this on the vorbis-dev list for the
next release of the code. Of course, there is no guarantee that the dev team
will incorporate this request.
</opinion>

Anyway, try this in your project and see if your results (crashes) change.
