libogg

C library for reading and writing Ogg bitstream containers.

Why you might care

Ogg is the standard open-source container format for audio and video codecs like Vorbis, Theora, and Opus. libogg provides the low-level bitstream API that audio/video libraries and applications depend on to encode and decode media. You'll typically install it as a build or runtime dependency of media software.
