[vorbis] Getting started with vorbisfile_example.c (MS VC6)

[Govind Kharbanda]

Hi,

Thanks for your help guys... we've successfully got vorbisfile_example.c
and seeking_example.c to compile, link and execute.

When the executables were run, nothing happened because the program
looks for input from stdin.  Therefore, we changed the source to open a
file (using "rb" as suggested by Michael and others) and passed its
handle to the ov_open() call made in the program.  When this was
completed the program ran and printed the PCM stream as text to the
screen; the file information should have been printed first but the
garbage prevented us from reading this, so we uncommented the
fwrite(pcmout, 1, ret, stdout) line; rebuilding the program gave the
file comments as expected.

Cheers,
Gov
