Seeking

Seeking functions allow you to specify a specific point in the stream to begin or continue decoding.

All the vorbisfile seeking routines are declared in "vorbis/vorbisfile.h".

Certain seeking functions are best suited to different situations. When speed is important, page-level seeking should be used.

function	purpose
ov_raw_seek	This function seeks to a specific byte in the bitstream, specified in bytes.
ov_pcm_seek	This function seeks to a specific point in the bitstream, specified in pcm samples.
ov_pcm_seek_page	This function seeks to the closest page preceding a point in the bitstream, specified in pcm samples.
ov_time_seek	This function seeks to a time in the bitstream, specified in seconds. The easiest and simplest seeking method.
ov_time_seek_page	This function seeks to the closest page preceding a time in the bitstream, specified in seconds.
