It's much harder to encode, at least, last I checked it was something like 3x
slower to encode to equivalent sized oggs than it was to go to mp3. The
other thing is there isn't a 'low-latency encode' mode to the ogg encoder --
you can't give it data, and get back the compressed portion for that bit of
data, you have to wait until it's done, and that can be several seconds
later.
