This command does exactly the same:

jack_capture -c 2 -ws | oggenc -R 44100 -B 16 -C 2 - -o file.ogg

although this command is strongly preferable (no bits lost in piping):

jack_capture -c 2 -f ogg file.ogg


However, for piping jack-stdout just got options for 24 bits, while 
jack_capture still only supports 16 bits. The reason why jack_capture lags 
a bit behind here is probably because jack_capture used code from 
jack-stdout to implement writing to stdout. :-)
