I don't know of any software for this, but there are some draft specifications 
for doing Vorbis over RTP that you could look at.

The ogg vorbis bitstream (if we assume your input format is ogg vorbis, before 
you stream it as rtp/vorbis) has all the information you need for accurate 
timing - the ogg and vorbis documentation should make all this pretty clear, 
but ask here if you still have questions. 

Basically, you look at the sample rate of the stream, and the ogg page 
granulepos values, and then you can do exact timing very easily. What you 
CAN'T do (as you noted, this is because vorbis is VBR) is just send a 
constant amount of data per time interval.
