The mp3 encoding is due to licensing restrictions imposed upon them. I use it all the time to go from wav->ape and ape->ogg. I use other tools to go from ape->aac+ though.
Grisu: You're going to suffer a loss in quality going straight from mp3 to ogg. You really would be better off trying to find the original source (wav or CD) and going straight to ogg. I really dread to think what mp3->ogg would sound like, even on my cheap amp.
