I hope you don't mean us. The whole point of Vorbis is an open 
specification anyone is free to implement. We think independent 
implementations are wonderful and important for the health of the 
standard as well.

While we certainly appreciate it when people contribute back to the 
reference implementations, they're MIT licensed so that borrowing code 
and inclusion in closed software is explicitly permitted. We want to 
place no impediments to adoption of Vorbis as long as the 
implementations are conforming.

So please do use your own decoder if it does a better job.
