Me either.  What quality setting did you use?

My results:

Soul Coughing - Ruby Vroom, entire album, one file per track, quality 4
    bzip2'ed oggs save 0.181% over oggs alone (less than two-tenths of 1%)
Grits - The Art of Translation, entire album, one file per track, -q 4
    bzip2'ed oggs save 0.15% over oggs alone
The Matrix - Music from the Motion Picture - entire album as one track, -q 3
    bzip2'ed ogg saves 0.183% over the ogg alone

Generating optimal huffman codes (with rehuff or something similar) beats this 
by an order of magnitude at least, and remains streamable.
