ogg to mp3 conversion

Actually, I think there's a way to get ogg123 to send .wav format to
the stdout pipe.  Yes, for sure to look at the man page for latest
correct details.  I do just that with a script I use to convert flac
to ogg and to mp3.  In that case, the intermediate format is
definitely .wav though.

Jack was looking for a "direct" path with no intermediate holding
area, pipe, etc. and AFAIK that is probably impossible.
