The best you can do is to pipe ogg123 or oggdec to standard output and
then have lame read from standard input. This takes a bit of fiddling
because you have to use raw pcm data on the pipe and you have to give
both programs the right options to handle the raw samples. You'll have
to look at the relevent man pages for the details, but it should be
pretty easy to script.
