+All libvorbisfile seeking routines are declared in "vorbis/vorbisfile.h".\r
+\r
+<p>Certain seeking functions are best suited to different situations.\r
+When speed is important and exact positioning isn't required,\r
+page-level seeking should be used. Note also that Vorbis files do not\r
+necessarily start at a sample number or time offset of zero. Do not\r
+be surprised if a file begins at a positive offset of several minutes\r
+or hours, such as would happen if a large stream (such as a concert\r
+recording) is chopped into multiple separate files. Requesting to\r
+seek to a position before the beginning of such a file will seek to\r
+the position where audio begins.<p>\r
