I think you are able to tell ov_open where you want to start in the file
(after all you have to pass in an already opened file pointer) and it should
know how big the stream is so in theory it should work though I haven't
tested it myself. Jack, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp :)

I'm not sure whether you are able to use vorbisfile in this case. At the
moment I'm streaming from disk in a seperate thread so using vorbisfile was
a no- brainer.
