Yeah. I suppose. though, I had my ogg plugin implemented so the is_type 
'method' ov_test's the file, and leaves it open (no ov_clear). then when the 
open 'method' is called I ov_test_open'ed it if its allredy open, and 
ov_test_open didn't crash, it just returned that it was already opened.. And 
ov_read worked fine. heh. But since my plugin is no longer leaving the file 
open like that It doesn't matter.

Thanks again.
