This means you can decode Ogg/Vorbis Audio streams, not encode. Not at one single
pass. This job (encoding and merging video/audio) has to be done by 
oggenc/ogmmerge.

Use oggenc "inputfile outputfile.ogg" to encode sound to ogg format
and then using ogmmerge merges video stream and audio-stream to ogm if you want to
use Ogg.

Single-pass encoding from tv card to ogm-format is not possible.

   (3)  With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is
        not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they
        are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them
        as they fly overhead.
   (6a) (corollary). It is always possible to add another level of
        indirection.
   (8)  It is more complicated than you think.
