Well, ogg is ogg. It's comparable to mp3s at higher bitrates, except no licensing involved so a better idea to begin with.
Then when you get to lower bitrates, ogg shines over mp3 by a long shot. This is obously good for small clips in net releases or streaming. The differance in quality is noticable, but is still listenable, something mp3 cannot boast.
oggs most commonly get muxed into an avi stream, which produces what is known as an .ogm (ogg movie) file. These files are played exactly like an avi file in every player I have tried. .ogms can also be muxed with subtitle and chapter information.
As ogg is one of the two currently supported sound formats in BMax at this time, it is obviously cross platform ;] It is not a video format though, so there is still the more serious issue of the video format. Which brings us pretty much back to the beginning of this tangent =]
