[xiph-rtp] Updated -04 Vorbis-RTP I-D

[Phil Kerr]

Tying the implementation to a particular lib isn't a good thing, if this 
method does then it's sub-optimal.

So the option is to detect the codebook sync pattern and then pull the 
codebook_entries and length length fields from the file and extract the 
packed codebooks?
