I use "grip" for ripping cd's under linux. It uses cdparanoia to grab the audio, looks up the tracks with CDDB, and encodes them with your favorite mp3 encoder or oggenc. Just drop the winamp plugin in the plugins directory of your winamp direcory. restart winamp. The file must be named with .ogg or winamp won't know what to do with it.
