thanks for the hint

yes, I was just too lazy (after finding the broken bug repository) to 
try to find it -- now in the Cc.

I'll put oggdec to the waiting line for now.

I've put up the file which is giving troubles with ogg123 now, so you 
can download it and try for yourself. Unluckily, it's quite big, and, 
interestingly, it *has* to be big, since only it's size is triggering 
the problem.

Please read
  http://elvis-jaeger.mine.nu:5080/~chris/scratch/.ogg/Readme
then fetch the file if you like from
  http://elvis-jaeger.mine.nu:5080/~chris/scratch/.ogg/

Thanks
Christian.
