What you can do with Ogg (and MPEG-1&2 PS) is to jump into middle of stream and play it from there (think broadcast radio or TV). You can't do that with Matroska (or MPEG-4 system for that matter), becuase you always need header at the beginning of file.

You can't do that in ogg either, you need the header packets.
