First I repeat I wasn't refering to theora contain in vp3 but to incomplete code
added in order to have another theora encoder/decoder using libtheora.

Then could you explain us how to make work your native theora decoder :
actually there no support for theora in ogg in ffmpeg. Mplayer don't pass any
extradata and the decoder refuse to init.
If I patch ffmpeg ogg to support theora, the theora accept the video stream, but
the result is a grey or green picture.
May be the problem is just in the init and everybody will be happy to use your
decoder.
