Anyways, I do believe that it works, too many people saw it working. ;)
The problem on the Ogg side is that it's always very much about
guessing, and if multiple players implemented this, their
performance/accuracy will vary and also depend a lot on the .ogg file
itself. I don't see a clean solution to this at the moment.

On the other hand, it's not really a problem to have it not working
either - usually, browsers download the file prior to handing it over to
the player. Unless you type in the URLs manually, get some .m3u file, or
maybe use Winamp's mini-browser, you don't get to play directly off a
webserver anyways. At least I never did or had to do anything like this.
