Cannot confirm all this here.
Soundconverter inputs:
Item: /tmp/temp/Brigada-orig.mp3
Type: Audio file with ID3 version 24.0 tag, MP3 encoding
Mime: audio/mpeg
Size: 3,313,924 bytes

converted to
Item: /tmp/temp/Brigada.wav
Type: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 32 bit,
stereo 44100 Hz
Mime: audio/x-wav
Size: 73,036,844 bytes

Then
Item: /tmp/temp/Brigada.wav
Type: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 32 bit,
stereo 44100 Hz
Mime: audio/x-wav
Size: 73,036,844 bytes

converted to
Item: /tmp/temp/Brigada.mp3
Type: Audio file with ID3 version 24.0 tag, MP3 encoding
Mime: audio/mpeg
Size: 3,381,240 bytes

I suggest that you check your quality options.

Audacity opens:
Item: /tmp/temp/Brigada.wav
Type: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 32 bit,
stereo 44100 Hz
Mime: audio/x-wav
Size: 73,036,844 bytes

then *exports* (do not use "save project as")
Item: /tmp/temp/Brigada.ogg
Type: Ogg data, Vorbis audio, stereo, 44100 Hz, ~192000 bps, created
by: Xiph.Org libVorbis I
Mime: application/ogg
Size: 4,600,477 bytes
