What granule position means depends on the codec being encapsulated.

From http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/Vorbis_I_spec.html, section A 2:

#  The granule position of pages containing Vorbis audio is in units of PCM 
audio samples (per channel; a stereo stream's granule position does not 
increment at twice the speed of a mono stream). 

There's more, however, so give those docs a read.

Nothing that I'm aware off. Most people can get away with using libvorbisfile.
