If I remember correctly the {decoder,encoder}_example read standard
input and write to standard output.  I don't know if you can do the
necessary redirection on the Windows command line to make that useful.
In Unix it would look like
./encoder_example < in.wav > out.ogg

You should however be able to simply change the file handles used so
they access files.

It sounds like you've got trunk/vorbis and trunk/ogg these will let
you build a basic player, the simplest thing to do is use libvorbisfile,
have a look at vorbisfile_example.c to see how that's done.

Finally, depending what you want to do, Illiminable's DirectShow filters
might be more appropriate, see <http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/>.
(These are also in svn as trunk/oggdsf)
