There are several reasons off the top of my mind that would speak against 
using ogg vorbis:

1. increased bandwidth usage as you already mentioned
2. speex is optimized for - as the name suggests - speech.
3. latency - In a realtime application, this is very critical and I don't know 
whether ogg supports small packet lengths. Keep in mind, those 20ms frames in 
speex only contain 882 samples!
4. packet loss: what happens in case of packet loss? At least in the case of 
mp3 I know that the decodation of one audio frame also relies on previously 
decoded samples.
