[Vorbis] Fixing a Corrupted Vorbis file

Hello, Since last week I started having random ogg files from my library
turning corrupt, and practically being unplayable by anything. All this
while I was browsing and sorting my library through Amarok.

Luckily today I've found the possible culprit, Amarok itself, and others
who may have the issue as well: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369672

But regardless of how the issue started, the question remains, how can I
fix the affected files?
Already tried a couple apparent tools, like oggfix, oggborvisfix, oggsplt
(or mp3splt to remove silence), and oggz to validate stuff.

Nothing really gave me a playable result, oggz validates everything
alright, only hint is perhaps oggfix which complains about "corrupt
secondary header". Further looking into the Amarok bug may provide more
hints as well.

Anyway, if anyone knows possible solutions to get files working again,
please do share.
