The reference libraries are encode/decode only; you have to use a 
separate recording tool. (For example, the output of arecord on 
GNU/Linux can be piped to the oggenc utility.)

We do provide the ogg123 tool which can do playback on most platforms. 
Most people want to mix live audio before encoding it, which probably
explains the difference. I've used the above when I just wanted to 
record something off the radio, though.

Hope that helps,
