I started it as an excercise to lean using the libogg and
libvorbis interface. Also I wanted to gather experience with the
Real System SDK. Back then I was not aware of any existing Vorbis
plugin. 

My plugin does have big issues with audio output at this time.
It sends audio out to the renderer in the exact PCM blocks
returned by libvorbis. That leads to lot of crackling and
skipping. Buffering would likely help - at the price of increased
latency. I haven't touched the code in a while.

I found it very awkward that in the Real System SDK every read
of data is asynchronous and gets responded to in a callback
function - Even if you only need a few bytes. That forces the
programmer to implement a very complicated (and error prone)
state machine. Make one mistake and the whole thing locks up,
crashes or misbehaves strangely...
