hmm, indeed quite a bit more complicated. I think I prefer the approach
of adding a header later on since there already is a CGI user interface
for retrieving/accessing the archive, I could add one at that step on
demand. exactly what information is contained in the header? Is the
track length contained in there? I suppose I could extract the header
from another ogg file using dd? how many bytes?
