Ogg Vorbis decoder for SoundDecoder directly adapted from SDL_sound's code. Thanks to Johnson Lin for providing this! Instead of trying to backport my Tremor decoder which originated from the SDL_sound Vorbis decoder, I told Johnson it would be better to just start at the source and avoid all the original gotchas I hit in the subtle differences between Tremor and Vorbis. Since this derives directly from Ryan Gordon's SDL_sound implementation, I am putting this under the LGPL subdirectory. Johnson Lin < arch . jslin - at - gmail . com >

	 *   Playback is normal
	 *   Playback immediately stops after the non-pow2 buffer
	 *   Playback gets distorted on the non-pow2 buffer
	 *   The entire program segfaults.
	 * The workaround is to always specify a power of two buffer size
	 * and hope that SDL_sound always fill it. (By lucky coincidence,
	 * I already submitted the Ogg fix.) However, this won't catch
	 * cases where a loop happens because the read at the end of the
	 * file is typically less than the buffer size.
	 *
	 * This fix addresses this issue, however it may break in
	 * other conditions. Always decode in buffer sizes of powers of 2.
	 * 
	 * The HACK:
	 * If the buffer is short, try filling it up with 0's
