To summarise you have another stream of data that needs to be
multiplexed with the vorbis coded audio.  Vorbis's normal stream format,
ogg, supports multiplexing and the documentation is available from:

On the other hand you may find issues with some audio players which fail
to understand an ogg stream that has more than just vorbis in.
