I'm on Ubuntu and I used "arecord -f cd -t raw -d 2 | oggenc - -r -o chainsaw.ogg" to record a file. oggenc crashed, but I can still play the file with ogg123, however, PZ won't play the file. Answer: (I can't seem to reply to my own post: the reply merges into the original) When I did ogginfo on a PZ sound ogg file that would play and my file I noticed that ogginfo pointed out that my file didn't have an EOF (which makes sense since oggenc crashed). I switched to record a wav file with arecord (-t wav) and then encoded the wav file with oggenc; after that PZ would play my (silly placeholder) ogg file.
