OGG, MP3, & AAC should be fine as long as you stick with 2 channels. I think OGG uses the same amount of CPU as MP3 to decode, but OGG has better compression... so use it! And AAC has the BEST compression, but uses more CPU to decode, so only use it if you are encoding your video stream at a much lower bitrate to compensate.
But I still say AC-3 is the best overall, because it uses very little CPU to decode -- even with all 6 channels intact!
