Completely untested. Assumes that the directories are arranged as
<artist>/<album>/<trackname>.vaw.

for file in $(find . -name '*.wav'); do
        artist=$(echo "$file" | cut -d / -f 2)
        album=$(echo "$file" | cut -d / -f 3)
        track=$(basename "$file" .wav)
        echo oggenc -q 4 -a "$artist" -l "$album" -t "$track" -o $(dirname "$file")/"$artist - $track.ogg" "$file"
done

Change to suit your directory structure and preferences. Remove 
"echo" from last line to actually do anything as opposed to 
printing the commands that would have been executed.
