Yes, and oggenc's "--help" claims that it can read from stdin, but this: mplayer -ao pcm input.wma -ao pcm:fast | oggenc --raw - --output=output.ogg doesn't work. The resulting OGG file is nothing but header. oggenc won't allow stdin unless I use --raw. That requires "headerless" WAV. It seems the default for mplayer is "waveheader" for pcm, and I can't figure out how to change that. My piped command might work, if I could turn off the header. I've also played with SoX, but haven't managed to get that to work yet either.
