All I can tell you about that is if I don't reset os->keyframe back to 0, it 
breaks alot of files. I will see if I can come up with more on that. By 
setting it back to 0, all my ogg files work perfectly.

ogg_read_timestamp will never be reached if there are sufficient 
index_entries. These are built on the fly during normal packet reading and 
so if read_timestamp is not reached then ogg_reset will not be called.
