Another question:
What if I convert all the mp3 files in a game to ogg beforehand, and then attach a ogg to mp3 converter and a batch script to revert them back to mp3? Will it improve compression ratio, even a little bit depending on how many mp3 files are there?

why are you converting mp3 to ogg?
It appears that you do not have the LAME encoder based on your post. Instead, it seems that you have a decOGG compressor. If this is correct, I recommend replacing it with LAME, which can be easily found online. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share a link, but you can look for it in various places. LAME will effectively compress your MP3 files, so there's no need to use OGG in this scenario.
