As a developer you can only use 'native' Ogg if you are using Androids
inbuilt Media Player.
But the inbuilt player doesn't give me enough control to implement the
SlimProto protocol that the Squeezeboxes use. (I.e. I need the exact
playback position, not just a rough estimate to support
synchronisation).
Gapless playback and full control over the audio buffers is also not
possible with the inbuilt player.

I'll recheck with Android 4 when it gained more market share, I think
they changed the APIs that developers can use, so I might be able to
use more of the inbuilt decoders.

For streaming via 3G with high probability you'd have to activate
bitrate limiting anyway, which will essentially convert all your tracks
to mp3 on the fly (provided that your server is fast enough for mp3
transcoding).
Most servers are.
