No, as you say, the tutorial uses fopen() which only works for local 
disk files. You have to use an http library to open a URL.

I'm not familiar with Windows APIs, so I don't have any specific advice. 
A quick look at msdn suggests 'HttpOpenRequest()' and subsequent calls 
might be a good place to start. (WinINet library) You'd use this 
together with ov_open_callbacks() to feed data from the http stream to 
libvorbisfile.

HTH,
