Here's the relevant part of that script, starting at line 19:

# Return Codes:
#   0 ok
#   1 input file not found
#   2 output file cannot be created
#   3 cannot get info
#   4 cannot exec decoding
#   5 cannot exec encoding
#   6 conversion failed
#   7 unknown option

Moving to line 76 I see this:

# Check for the existence of oggdec
oggdec=`which oggdec`
if [ -z "$oggdec" ]; then
    exit 4
fi

# Check for the existence of lame
lame=`which lame`
if [ -z "$lame" ]; then
    exit 5
fi

So you'll need to have the vorbis-tools packages installed (for decoding 
and encoding oggs) and (preemptively if you don't already) lame/liblame 
for decoding/encoding mp3s.
