Is the following bash script okay for you?

loopOgg() { 
  local -i n=$1; shift; 
  while [ $n -ne 0 ]; do 
    ogg123 "$@"; 
    if [ $n -gt 0 ]; then
      n=n-1; 
    fi;
  done;
}

Usage: loopOgg N-TIMES ARGS

A positive value for N-TIMES means play it that many times. A negative
value plays ad nauseam. 0 doesn't do anything.

Example: loopOgg 3 -q -b 128 -d oss file1.ogg file2.ogg
