Vorbis files can be cut, using a utility that has been referenced on 
this mailing list before. Searching will probably help you out. As for a 
straight binary split on some arbitrary point, I imagine Vorbis wouldn't 
like that very much.

Yes. It is actually not possible (nor sensible) to store Vorbis audio on 
disk without the Ogg container format. That's why it's called Ogg Vorbis.

That depends on what you mean by "get" the format. If you want the 
source code, libogg will probably help. That's here:
