The idea is to typefind the stream as an ogm stream. The typefind function
would return a custom mimetype, like application/x-ogm. Oggdemux would
then spit out the whole stream, including the header pages.
After that you put an ogm-specific decoding element (let's name it
ogmdec) that takes that stream and transforms it into a proper video (or
audio) stream. So the ogm-specific part of the pipeline would look like
this:
... => oggdemux => ogmdec => videodecoder => ...
