Issue seems to stem from ds.cpp line 302. For some reason, the function ov_pcm_total() decides to return a value of -64 here, which is not even defined as a valid return value for that function (Valid ones would be the desired number of pcm samples, or OV_EINVAL on failure, which is defined as -131 in vorbis/codec.h).

This causes the following calculation to return a truly gigantic number as the size (due to a cast to uint), which in turn cannot be malloc'ed correctly.

I've added a failure path to the function to deal with this correctly, and committed it in revision 6713.

If this error happens, you need to reencode the sound file. I recommend using oggenc2 for this, as other encoders (like VLC's, or Audacity's) are prone to failure. Get it here: http://www.rarewares.org/ogg-oggenc.php

In addition, make sure that the format selected for the audio stream is 16-bit. The offending file posted here uses the 32 bit-float format, this is (apparently, anyway) not supported by our version of theora.
