If this occurs right at the beginning of the file then we only need a 
short sample. Install mp3splt and run:

oggsplt sadi-moma.ogg 0.0 0.2

This will extract the first 2 seconds to a new file, which is probably 
small enough to post here.

I tried ogg123 on my own YeeLoong with some mono ogg file and that 
played without a problem.
