It's funny...
I added a java (GCJ compatible) audio player on enwiki a while back and I've been mostly unable to get people to even comment it (although it has been used by tens of thousands)...
Yes, indeed. There is no need to convert the files to other formats or use flash or so.
For Ogg Vorbis there is; http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/
And with that you can play a Ogg Vorbis file without a player at the client side.
The software is free to download. I can not be very difficult to inclued this in the wiki so that you have the option to listen to by a webbased player. A user good in templates can probably do that in in a couple of minutes. The only thing that really needs to be done is install JOrbis on the WMF server so that not an external hosted service must be used for this.
Also for Ogg Theora is there a java-player that can be used; http://www.flumotion.net/cortado/
