[vorbis] streaming ogg audio

[Mark Hetherington]

I don't beleive you can do it with VBR mp3.
I just tested it, with winamp to my web server. When you seek in a CBR mp3, it 
just initiates a new request, doing a "resumed" download from the estimated 
point in the mp3 file. I beleive it just seeks to a position in the file, not 
a given time in minutes.....
