Ah, good question.  Technically, vorbis uses Ogg streams (Ogg is the enclosing
format).  So, I'd say 'audio/x-ogg' is the best idea, or 'audio/x-oggvorbis'
but only if it's absolutely necessary to know that the ogg stream contains
vorbis data. Vorbis is not going to be the only Ogg codec.

Unless someone speaks up now with a valid point, I'm goign to go with 

audio/x-ogg

as official.
