[vorbis] problems loading an ogg to memory

[Joel Gonzales]

This seems to be where I'm stuck at currently. What function do I call 
to set the sample size?

Just to make sure my math is correct:
if we have 200 PCM samples, 1 channel and a rate of 44100, that would give
200*1*44100 = 8820000 (assuming a file that isn't chained)

So I'd need an array of size 8820000? or is the number given in bits/bytes?

Thanks a bunch for the help.
