AW: [Vorbis] Howto get playtime

[Thomas Kuglitsch]

OK. I've found how to get the playtime when I use ogg and 
vorbis resp. ogg and theora in the same c-file (like in 
exampleplayer of libtheora).
I have the problem that I am developing in a project, where 
demuxing of logical streams of an ogg container happens in 
another c++ object than decoding.
but at the time of demuxing i have to know the playback time. 
the demuxed streams will be decoded later on, so the 
dsp-state is not available at the time of demuxing.

I don't get vorbis & theora synchronized :( somehow my 
playtime calculations go wrong.

for vorbis i use:
if(ogg_packet->granulepos >= 0)
{
	playtime = ogg_packet->granulepos / vorbis_info->rate;
	oldplaytime = playtime;
}
else
	playtime = oldplaytime;

for theora i use (parts taken from libtheora):
if(ogg_packet->granulepos >= 0)
{
	shift = theora_granule_shift(theora_info);
	iframe = ogg_packet->granulepos >> shift;
	pframe = ogg_packet->granulepos - (iframe << shift);
	frameno = iframe + pframe;
	playtime = frameno / (fps_numerator/fps_denominator);
	oldplaytime = playtime;
}
else
	playtime = oldplaytime

what am I doing wrong? it SHOULD be nearly synchronized.
