Not according to your config...

Have you enabled any of the extra repositories that include patent
encumbered software, like lame?  Not sure what repos there are for
RHEL, I know FreshRPMS or Livna for Fedora.

[...]

oggenc is used for creating ogg's, not mp3's.

This looks wrong to me.  I know RH patches Grip to use Ogg by default,
but I thought that they changed the default extension.  Is it possible
that they didn't remove the Lame option from the available grip
selections and that if you select Lame in the encoder options that it
just uses oggenc instead?

If you use the file command on some of your ripped files, what does it
say?  application/ogg or audio/mpeg?
