Then vd_theora is also broken. It reads header packets with ds_get_packet.
And, probably, demux_ogg too, since it works with vd_theora :)

fftheora in its current state won't parse headers from Matroska, it expects a 
different format. fftheora expects 3 packets each preceded by its length in 
bits (a 2-byte value) as a single block. Matroska codec private containes 3 
packets in a Xiph lacing: <count-1>, coded packet sizes, packets.
