So you want to add a new "depayloader" plugin layer between the demuxer 
and the elementary stream output? I suppose that would be OK; I 
considered doing that for RTP too, but never found the time.

However, as already noted, we need to keep the Ogg decoders (Vorbis, 
Theora, ...) as they are. Those are used by other demuxers than Ogg.
