I have a bunch of OGG files that I would like to convert to WMA (v9) format.
Is there a native Ubuntu tool I can use for this? (Since WMA is a proprietary format, I'm guessing that there won't be a tool that does this in the repos.)

I have found a way to convert OGG files to WMA (v8) files using VLC:
Launch VLC and go to File->Convert / Save
Add the files you want to convert by clicking 'Add...' and then click 'Convert / Save'
Select the destination file, remembering to append the .wma
extension
Click the button to create a new profile (this only needs to be done once)
Give the new profile a name, and select 'ASF / WMV' for encapsulation
Click the 'Audio' tab and change the settings to match this image (or make any changes if you want a different bitrate or something):
Click 'Save' and select your new format
Now simply click 'Start' and your files will be transcoded
I really don't know enough about encapsulation and audio formats, and I have no idea why you'd want to take something good and make it worse, BUT...
VLC appears to have the functionality you required.
Not a full answer, but hopefully something to start you off.
