For a search for *source*, the above suggestion is not really very good. At 
the least, the Google search should be on "libvorbis-devel source", not 
just "libvorbis-devel". More useful advice would be to suggest that the 
poster check wherever he got the binary from, since both the GPL and the 
LGPL obligate distributors of binaries to provide access to the source as well.

The details of that advice are distro-specific, and the original poster did 
not mention what distro he was using. Just as an example, if he were using 
Debian with installs via apt, and his /etc/apt/sources.list were current, 
all he would need to do is run these two commands:

         apt-get update
         apt-get source libvorbis-devel

I'm sure the answers for other distros as equally simple, but I don't know 
them.

The home site for the Vorbis project (this may be what he really wants) is
