[vorbis] Mixing libvorbisfile with SDL

[Stan Seibert]

It is technically in the docs:

"After a bitstream has been opened using ov_open()/ov_open_callbacks() 
and  decoding  is  complete,  the application  must  call  ov_clear() to
clear the decoder's buffers and close the file." [From
doc/vorbisfile/ov_clear.html]

Though the wording might be made stronger to emphasize this
non-intuitive point.  :)
