My argument is that that application shouldn't have to convert to a 
fixed format. It should be able to say here's some YUY2 data and 
OggStream could figure out how to encode that to Theora by using an 
intermediate filter.

Agreed. I'm focusing on the encode side:

[Opaque] -> Import plugin -> [Arbitrary raw format] -> Colorconvert 
Plugin -> [OggYUV:420] -> Theora plugin

What I think you're proposing is

[Opaque] -> Import plugin -> [OggYUV:420] -> Theora plugin

I think you need that extra layer in there to get the cleanest interface 
and most code reuse (eg, everyone will use the same colorconverter)

Agreed.
