[vorbis] Streaming ogg from filepointer pointing to archive ofmany oggs. Ogg stream does not stop after end of one ogg file - what todo ?

[Andre Krause]

At the moment i have simply cat'ed oggs along with other stuff like images
etc in one bif .pak file. It's uncompressed. It simply custom made for my
current game in development. So i first will try to test method #1, checking
the section var. 
After this i give a try to the callback method, because it would be great if
sdl_mixer would support streaming of oggs from and SDL_rwops. At the moment,
only mod-streaming was implemented by someone. Maybe i will manage to do the
same for oggs :)

Thanks alot  for the help sp far !
