Uh, more weird is that there are two of them.  It looks like vorbisfile
decided that there were two streams, and the last one has a damaged header
(or more likely, the last packet doesn't contain Vorbis headers at
all).  Perhaps this is what confuses most players.  This looks like a chained
stream with a bad second part.
