I guess this is not a correct question. Ogg Vorbis is an audio codec, 
while what you're talking about is a streaming solution with a streaming 
server, client, etc.

Yes and yes. IceCast currently streams through the HTTP protocol, not 
RTPS or any UDP based stuff. It is very unfortunate that there is no 
open source RTSP streaming solution. Or I don't know of any, save Apple 
Darwing Streaming Server, which uses QuickTime for its codec.

Plugins could do the trick.
