Kurt and other OS-X users,

"Fink" should allow you to install the general Unix command-line vorbis-tools
pacakage, straight from vorbis.com:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/index.php

then get the Tiger-compiled "vorbis-tools" package (which includes the player
ogg123, oggdec, oggenc, etc.)

http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/vorbis-tools

If Fink is at all like other packaging tools, it will resolve, install, and
download all the library dependencies automagically (most likely it will need
to install libvorbis, etc.)

Good luck....

Best,
Aaron.
