<p>This line in the ogginfo output concerns me.  It means that there are actually
damaged Ogg packets in the stream.  How are you saving this stream to disk?

I think there is a problem here, but not with seeking, exactly.  If the file
is saved on disk, then it should be seekable.  It is possible that vorbisfile
is not acting correctly when given damaged streams of the sort you have.
