As far as I've been able to tell html5 can't specify a codec because of
patent issues, and I don't know the audio capabilities matrix of browsers (I
think a lot of people have focused their testing on the video tag).
I would start by trying out mp3, I bet that's the safest choice, but firefox
may not support it due to the patent thing, in which case, ogg should work.
 If it's anything like the video tag, you should be able to specify two
different streaming urls and the browser will pick its favourite.
