If these are separate streams multiplexed / multi channels, I think that somewhere within the OGG stream would need to be something telling the decoder how to add all the Vorbis streams/channels together, instead of having it play the first & silently ignore the rest.
Possibly an ASCII comment tag could be used to instruct the decoder, also so it's immediately obvious to the listeners what form the stream is in (& possibly so they can stuff around with it if they feel compelled to).
The docs are help me understand these ideas, but there's still a lot to read.
