Does the spec forbid not to have that extra space? I haven't read it, but I'd be surprised it it were a MUST.

Hello Ulrich, Putting some extra space is the not the reason for this request. It is the overhead of the frame v/s payload size. Basically larger the payload less % the overhead is (and that makes sense). However the complexity of implementing a read file structure where the file pointer has to go back-forth for reading the payload when multiple segments have to be read, CRC32 (something which needs to be done in SW) is going to increase the time the CPU shall spend in the encapsulation process rather than encoding/decoding process. The answer may be NO, but the question may still be asked.

The overhead of Ogg (in file size) is pretty small and it's efficient enough for most applications (and uses far less CPU than the codec anyway). If anything, you might want to look at optimizing the existing Ogg implementation (e.g. like Tremor did in the context of Vorbis). Of course, you're always free to design a new container, but I doubt it's worth it and it's a lot of work (e.g. you want your files to be seekable, right?). The only thing I can assure you of is that we're not going to bring a new "low-complexity" container to the IETF for standardization.
