[Vorbis] Newbie seeking directions

to work around the same serial number in chained ogg stream you could do
something like this:
http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/py-ogg2/examples/reserializer.py

but since you repeat the same 4 ogg sequences all the time, would it not
be better to just create a playlist(m3u)?
