I use curl for that purpose, plus buffer, e.g.:

curl http://server:port/stream.ogg | buffer | ogg123 -

curl just looks prettier on output, not to mention you can stream from
just about anything (got an ogg on an LDAP server, anyone? Gopher?),
and buffer helps a lot for me on 28.8... that said, I still haven't
gotten much of any of the many test streams posted to the list to play
for more than a few seconds due to my low bandwidth.

I was working on libcurl streaming for ogg123 a while back and had it
almost to a usable point but then I got caught up in other things and
haven't gotten back to it. In about a month I'll be bored silly, so
expect a bit more from me ;)
