Brian, If I remember right you can redirect the input from /dev/audio into the encoder and encode your vinyl directly into oggenc. I may be wrong about the input being /dev/audio but I am pretty sure I am right. You may have to use a mixer to setup wich input device is available and the sound level for that device.

I have been recording Vinyl LPs on my system using OggVorbis format and am happy with the results. This has been done on the command line. The files are generated by DAP (on the Suse disk) which I upgraded to 2.1.2 using a Red Hat rpm I think. These huge .aiff files are then encoded with Ogg.
gringo@gringo:~ $oggenc -N 13 -a "Leo Kottke" -l "Guitar Music" -t "All I Have To Do Is Dream" VLP-LeoKottke-Dream.aiff Opening with aiff module: AIFF/AIFC file reader Encoding "All I Have To Do Is Dream.ogg" [ 99.8%] [ 0m00s remaining] /
Done encoding file "All I Have To Do Is Dream.ogg"
File length: 1m 44.0s Elapsed time: 1m 31.4s Rate: 1.1391 Average bitrate: 133.5 kb/s
If one wants to record several tracks then the file size can get too big. To overcome this I need to record from stdin. Ogg has the facility to take input from stdin, but I cannot get it to work. Can anyone suggest how I might do this ? I have tried the parameter below without success.
