- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg#Page_structure describes what every single page in an ogg file looks like -- file metadata and stream data alike.
- http://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/Vorbis_I_spec.html actually describes the contents of a ogg vorbis file's metadata (header) pages. The three header packets are:
- an Identification Header,
- a Comment Header, and
- a Setup Header.
The specification requires that all three of these headers be present.

after 12 years, is there any better resource you can recommend? I'm looking to find how the file header is constructed. All resources I found so far are very complex. – julianpoemp Dec 03 '22 at 13:35

A bitfield diagram of the Ogg Vorbis identification header is at http://wiki.xiph.org/OggVorbis.

That page describes the "header packets that begin a Vorbis bitstream" but it does not describe the other headers nor does it say how the headers are laid out within the ogg container format. – Isaac Sutherland Dec 03 '10 at 03:34
