Vorbis dev - Nov 2001 - Vorbisfile: non-seekable

Hi,

I use the following code:
  if (ov_open(NULL, &vf, const_cast<char*>(reinterpret_cast<const
char*>(get_data())), get_size()) < 0)
   error = 0x100;
  else
  {
   vorbis_info* vi = ov_info(&vf, -1);
   Cvirtual_file f;
   const int cb_samples = ov_pcm_total(&vf, -1);
   const bool seekable = ov_seekable(&vf);

So all data is already in memory and passed to ov_open.
This stream is not seekable. Why not?
And shouldn't it be seekable?

That's how it's designed, this is the correct behaviour. 
If you want seekable access to a stream existing in memory,
provide callbacks for this, and don't pass the buffer in as
initial. Slightly harder, but not much.
