Oggenc will accept a wav file with multiple channels in it, but I don't know
of any tools to create such a file. Of course, you could adapt oggenc to
allow the syntax you've described there (or perhaps just adapt the example
encoder, that might be simpler).

Sorry, we know the vorbis documentation is somewhat lacking. Please feel free
to ask questions about any parts of the API, we'll answer as completely as we
can (but this would be considered more on-topic on the vorbis-dev list,
rather than here).
