I just tried this, and it's doing a misaligned word access:
$ gdb ./ivorbisfile_example.armel
(gdb) run < *ogg > armel
Starting program:
/home/martin/cluster/arm/libvorbisidec-debug-2009-04-24/ivorbisfile_example.armel
< *ogg > armel
Bitstream is 2 channel, 44100Hz
Decoded length: 324300 samples
Encoded by: Xiph.Org libVorbis I 20070622
Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
0x4004eaa0 in ov_read () from /usr/lib/libvorbisidec.so.1
(gdb)
To get the bus error you need to have
# echo 5 > /proc/cpu/alignment
the default setting (0) silently returns junk, specifically, the word
from addr&~3 rotated by (addr&3)*8 bits, which is less than useful.
Another setting, 3, catches the alignment trap, fakes "the right
thing" in the kernel and returns what you would get on a byte-aligned
machine; that would quickly tell you whether fixing the alignment
error will fix the problem.
