Vorbis dev - Sep 2000 - Vorbis vs OGG?

Hi there.

I'm a little new to OGG, so please excuse the stupidity of this question,
but:

Could someone please tell me which of the two is the compression algorithm 
and which of the two is the framing methodology?  From what I can figure, 
Vorbis is the compression and OGG is the framing.  What is confusing me is 
the fact that libvorbis has a bunch of functions that start with ogg_, so 
I'm wondering if it should really be libogg instead.

Basically, I'm more interested in the compression algorithm than the 
framing one, because I will most likely be using UDP or some other Internet 
packet protocol to send the data from my server to the client.

Thanks.

Tim

Ogg is the framing/interleave stream format, Vorbis is the audio codec.

The ogg_ functions usually do refer to the Ogg level. Work's underway to
properly factor the two library-wise. There's already an 'ogg' cvs
module
you can check out with just the stream-level stuff, but I'm unclear on
whether the libvorbis port is complete. Right now, the mainline cvs
assumes you're going to be using Ogg for your Vorbis packets, so it's
probably best to work around for the moment. Look for where
libvorbis(file) stuffs buffers into ogg_packet_in() or reads them from
ogg_packet_out(). That's where you want to split things. 

Hope that helps,
