Hm, what do you mean by "converting ... from mp3 to ogg"? If you're
reencoding from mp3 to Ogg, don't expect any quality at neither quality
level. Reencoding is a Bad Thing To Do, only encode from the source,
i.e. CDs. If you're already doing that, a losslessly (FLAC) encoded demo
clip of the problematic part plus a .ogg, at a reasonable quality
setting, with the artifact (and a description of it if it's hard to
hear), could help the developers to improve the encoder or fix it, if
it's a bug.
