- <h1>Decoding</h1>
 
- <p>
 
- All libivorbisdec decoding routines are declared in "ivorbisfile.h".
 
- <p>
 
- After <a href="initialization.html">initialization</a>, decoding audio
 
- is as simple as calling <a href="ov_read.html">ov_read()</a>. This
 
- function works similarly to reading from a normal file using
 
- <tt>read()</tt>.<p>
 
- However, a few differences are worth noting:
 
- <h2>multiple stream links</h2>
 
- A Vorbis stream may consist of multiple sections (called links) that
 
- encode differing numbers of channels or sample rates.  It is vitally
 
- important to pay attention to the link numbers returned by <a
 
- href="ov_read.html">ov_read</a> and handle audio changes that may
 
- occur at link boundaries.  Such multi-section files do exist in the
 
- wild and are not merely a specification curiosity.
 
- <h2>returned data amount</h2>
 
- <a href="ov_read.html">ov_read</a> does not attempt to completely fill
 
- a large, passed in data buffer; it merely guarantees that the passed
 
- back data does not overflow the passed in buffer size.  Large buffers
 
- may be filled by iteratively looping over calls to <a
 
- href="ov_read.html">ov_read</a> (incrementing the buffer pointer)
 
- until the original buffer is filled.
 
- <h2>file cursor position</h2>
 
- Vorbis files do not necessarily start at a sample number or time offset
 
- of zero.  Do not be surprised if a file begins at a positive offset of
 
- several minutes or hours, such as would happen if a large stream (such
 
- as a concert recording) is chopped into multiple seperate files.
