To me, that doesn't sound like a good solution.

Imagine I  have a seekable Ogg/Vorbis file that has a size of several
gigabytes and contains, say, 20 "tracks". Of course, I want the 20
track marks to be listed without having the player seek through all the
gigabytes of the file (which would be the case with just treating
concatenated logical streams as tracks, or am I getting it wrong
here?).

With Vorbis content, it seems a rare case to have a several gigabyte
seekable Ogg file, but with Theora content this sounds perfectly
sensible. And the track marks in question would be like the chapters of
a DVD. Is there possibly already a solution for such listed-in-advance
trackmarks in Ogg/Theora, which could then be used for Ogg/Vorbis as
well?
