The ogg library is for reading (and writing) the Ogg container format,
which is media-agnostic. You can put audio, video, text, etc. in an Ogg
file. Vorbis is a lossy audio codec. You are working with Ogg files
which only contain Vorbis data, but there are Ogg files out there which
contain audio (including codecs other than Vorbis) and video data. Ogg
and Vorbis are frequently seen together, but technically independent.
The vorbis library is a fairly low level API, so vorbisfile sits on top
of that to provide a programmer-friendly interface for the common case
where you are getting Vorbis packets from something that looks like an
Ogg file on disk.
