Can you please elaborate? Is this functionality complete? The only
mention to metadata in the codebase that I can find is in codec.h:

/* ogg_packet is used to encapsulate the data and metadata belonging
   to a single raw Ogg/Vorbis packet *************************************/

Looking at ogg_packet its not clear to me what I need to do here. Do you
use some other nomenclature in the codebase?

I see the comments -- good thought!
