[vorbis] Problem with decoding number of codebooks

[Donal Riordan]

Hello,

I'm trying to write a Vorbis decoder (just as a hobby) but I've got a
problem with reading the setup header. According to the Vorbis
documentation the first data that should be read after the initial
'vorbis' string is an eight bit integer which when incremented by one,
contains the number of codebooks in the header. My problem is that
whenever I read this number it seems to be wrong!
For example, I created a very small Ogg Vorbis file and in this file the
first byte of the setup header is 29 (hex). This means that 42 (dec)
codebooks should follow. However this is not the case - in the entire file
there are only 7 occurances of the 'BCV' string which identifies codebooks
so the value stored should be 06.
It could be that my encoder is faulty but I downloaded the newest copy of
CDex and the encoder on that did not resolve the problem. Interestingly
the old encoder had 11 (hex) in this field in every file it generated and
the newer encoder has 29 (hex) in all the files it generates.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have included the first five
hundred bytes of the file. The whole file is just 8KB so I could email it
if neccessary.
Thanks for any help,
Donal

The ')' [29h] in the line above is what I'm
reading as the number of codebooks
