IMHO, this is a flaw in the "Vorbis" architecture.  It would be much better 
to have a fixed, predefined set of codebooks that all receivers would know 
in advance.  Then you'd need to send only a 'codebook id', which should be 
small enough to include in the Vorbis RTP payload format header.

Having to send a complete codebook for each song partially defeats the 
purpose of audio compression.

The Vorbis designers should just figure out a complete set of codebooks 
that are likely to be useful, and settle on those.

         Ross.
