Like a WAV, FLAC doesn't need any tagging.  I use an external tagging
solution, which I described in my previous post to this list, on this
same thread.

I agree it would be super-cool if oggenc could take FLAC files as input.
In the meantime, this may work well for you:

flac -d -c infile | oggenc -o outfile -

Yes, it would be nice if we could replace that with

oggenc infile
