You generally cannot stream isom-related formats.
(This is not a limitation of FFmpeg but of the format)

I suspect these could in theory be fixed with an option 
that adds global headers, but options do not work well 
with ffserver;-(
(And I don't know if streaming ogg with ffserver is 
supported, test with audio only *and* audio encoding.)
