I suspect that the oggenc command is failing because TProcess behind the
scenes is splitting --output="outputfile.ogg" into two params.

You can try something like
oggenc -Q '--output="outputfile.ogg"' "tempfile.wav"
to see if that works or if you use TProcess directly I understand that
options have been added recently to overcome the problem quotes can have
on the arguments.
