Regarding the Win32 build. I have built the libs using MSVC6, VS.NET, Intel
6 and Intel 7, all without any difficulties at all. Which compiler are you
using?
regards
John

Subject: [vorbis] Newbie question

<p>I'm new to OggVorbis (btw: we're about to use it in a game...) and
am curious about page sizes when decoding ogg streams. With every
stream I tested, I get either 512 or 4096 byte packages from ov_read().
While this is fine with me, I'd like to know if there is a upper limit
to this chunk size. If it's variable, how do I find out what the max
chunk size for the open stream is?
I know that I can limit the amount of data ov_read retrieves through
the size param, but I'd like to drive it with the best possible size
and no artificial restrictions on my side. But if there was a remote
possibility of ov_read() returning big chunks (>64 kbyte), i'd rather
know that in advance.

On a side note: this is on Win32 and I'd like to note that I had
serious trouble linking the static libs with /MT code. I Finally
resorted to building a single oggvorbis lib with all source included.

Best regards,
