on freshmeat) reads wav, aiff, aiff-c, .au, and .snd.  Maybe there are
other better libraries (OpenAL, maybe), but this library does what I want
(read AIFF).

Oggenc was designed so that this would be VERY straightforward to
implement. There's a static array somewhere near the start which oggenc
walks through. This contains function pointers and misc. other info. Oggenc
will try each of these in turn until one returns successfully. This
function is responsible for setting up some other variables and function
pointers which are used for oggenc to read raw audio data. 

It's completely untested, since only wav reading currently exists, but it's
not conceptually all that difficult - so I think it should work.
