Actually Ogg streamed over UDP should work as long as the client started 
listening before the server started sending the data (because the Ogg 
headers are sent only at the beginning of the stream).

However there might be problems when the server switches between different 
playlist items... It might also work but I just haven't tried (it would be 
fixable if it doesn't work).
