If libvorbisfile and the application using +libvorbisfile are not linked against the exact same +version/variant/build of crt.o (and they usually won't be, especially +using a prebuilt libvorbis DLL), <tt>FILE *</tt> handles cannot be +opened in the application and then passed to vorbisfile to be used +by stdio calls from vorbisfile's different version of CRT. For this +reason, using <a href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a> under Windows +without careful, expert linking will typically cause a protection +fault. Windows programmers should use <a +href="ov_fopen.html">ov_fopen()</a> (which will only use libvorbis's +crt.o) or <a href="ov_open_callbacks.html">ov_open_callbacks()</a> +(which will only use the application's crt.o) instead.<p> + +This warning only applies to Windows and only applies to <a +href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a>.

This is important because <tt>ov_open()</tt> may be a fairly time-consuming +call, given that the full structure of the file is determined at this point, +which may require reading large parts of the file under certain circumstances +(determining all the logical bitstreams in one physical bitstream, for +example). See <a href="threads.html">Thread Safety</a> for other information on using libvorbisfile with threads. +<p> + +<dt><b>[c] Mixed media streams</b><p> +<dd> +As of Vorbisfile release 1.2.0, Vorbisfile is able to access the +Vorbis content in mixed-media Ogg streams, not just Vorbis-only +streams.
