I was pretty surprised when i saw http://www.vorbis.com/music/Hydrate-Kenny_Beltrey.ogg link not give me a download option but had a player that was not flash playing the audio back. (FireFox)
Is there a way i can embed this onto a page?

A:
Use the HTML5 Audio tag.
P.S. Although you tagged as firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera 10.5 also have support for audio

Note that out of all of them, Safari does not support Vorbis audio (because QuickTime doesn't, unless the user has installed XiphQT). An alternate `source` tag could provide a fallback, such as wav or mp3

You can use HTML5 to embed this on a page, but it will not play back consistently across browsers.
The only way to get consistent audio/video playback across browsers is to use a plugin and Flash has the widest user penetration.

You're looking for the HTML5 <audio> tag.
Note that it's not supported by IE.

Google finds at least a couple of free java applets capable of playing ogg/vorbis, that's a possible IE-compatible fallback solution.
