I've seen people out there streaming pirate radio over hidden services.
Once you get the stream up (which usually just involves waiting vs.
manual retry), and signaling aside (which can be for voip), the
stream itself works good. Though those streams tend to be constant
and heavy, unlike bursty voip. If you're having problems you might try
a constant bitrate stream codec or disabling noise/mic nulling.
