this is possible if you know the sampling rate and channels of the
audio, but it's unklikly that a ogg file (or stream) is always 16bit, 2
channel, 44100hz and it's silly to resample to this. so it's better to
pipe a wav or some other format with a header (aiff, au, etc).

i want to reencode a live stream on the fly to mp3

ogg-decoder | mp3-encoder | streaming-app

this is not possible with the existing software.
btw decoder_example isn't working for me, maybe it's only for stereo,
44.1khz files.
