freeze on ov_open

I'm new to Ogg and tried 3 different demo sources to just open a file, and all of them have the same problem: they freeze at ov_open and I'm forced to end-task the app. All dll's and so forth are included and it links fine, and the file is definately found by fopen. 

FILE*  oggFile;
OggVorbis_File  oggStream;

if(!(oggFile = fopen(path, "rb")))
    throw "Could not open Ogg file.";
if((result = ov_open(oggFile, &oggStream, NULL, 0)) < 0)
{
    fclose(oggFile);
    throw "Could not open Ogg stream. ";
}

how about memset(&oggStream,0,sizeof(oggStream)); first

That was quick! I tried your suggestion but it still hangs.

Might if have something to do with which libraries I'm including? Should I go debug, normal, or static?

Are you using libvorbis in DLL form ? Perhaps linking statically would solve the problem (different compilers / compiler settings, your FILE* doesn't work in libvorbis).
Another solution would be to use ov_open_callbacks instead, that would workaround the problem as well.

Try this:

if(ov_open(oggFile, &oggStream, NULL, 0) < 0)

Still no dice. I'll have to try callbacks. Figuring out how to do that now.

Callback appeared to work. I don't have any sound playing, however, as now OpenAL is crashing the program. But at least it got passed 'open'. Thanks!

Ogg Vorbis works! Again, thanks a bunch!
