if you have your options right it should produce an ogg encapsulated 
stream of theora and vorbis. Try replacing "| oggfwd…" with ">/tmp/test.ogg"
and then try to open that file using some player like vlc or mplayer.

let's stop RIGHT HERE!
Isn't it obvious?
Something is wrong with your pipeline here. There is NOTHING coming through.
Which brings us back to the previous point.
First make sure ffmpeg2theora has all the right options set, then verify
that it produces an valid ogg file/stream and only then try to oggfwd it.
