Re: File_Vorbis Latest...

I wouldn't call myself "too experienced" with pear yet. But if you might be interested in my 2 cents anyway: Refering to http://www.vorbis.com/faq.psp#names "Ogg is the name of Xiph.org's container format for audio, video, and metadata.". So wouldn't, refering to meta-data, it be a File_Ogg-package? But since we're also talking about Vorbis-specific details (e.g. Bitrates) okay. Just thought off Ogg Theora or even Speex which also use an Ogg container. Wouldn't abstracting a general ogg-part for meta-data make sense? If you have a look at the ogginfo-output it says that there was a "vorbis stream" found. Maybe think of multichannel-audio (English/German/...) or audio/video and similar. Then having a File_Ogg to handle all streams inside the file would make sense. Back to your File_Vorbis: Would it be possible to also display the length or the stream and maybe the "total data length" (see ogg info) for that stream? Looking at the source without going into too much technical detail looks fine for me. Didn't find a necessity to criticise anything. Generally I'd love to see a package to handle ogg/vorbis-files. But maybe give it a thought about abstracting the ogg-container in general and also aming to support Theora, Speex and similar in the future. This would mean a future-wise and extensible setup without braking BC or reinventing the wheel.
