[Vorbis] Re: Helix and unrecognised streams.

[Ian Malone]

Thanks very much.  I can confirm your changes work here, I'll take mine
down shortly unless anyone has any strong objections.  The changes are
definitely best made by someone who understands the code.

List question: Would it be preferable to have the samples at Xiph
somewhere (possibly under the metadata entry on the wiki with the
caveat they're just test samples).  It would probably give them
a more stable address as I won't have my student webspace forever.
