The problem is the -R switch, which I used but neglected to mention.
"oggdec -h" doesn't say so (the man page does), but -R takes an
argument.  I didn't realize that, so the command line options were
interpreted in unexpected ways.

Looking at the source, I see that the argument to -R is treated as
a boolean.  This is totally counter to normal unix usage, where you
would expect plain "-R" (rather than "-R 1") to switch to raw output.

The arguments to -e and -s are also questionable.
