Do they?

# apt-cache show lame | grep Version
Version: 3.95.1-8.rhfc1.at
Version: 3.95.1-1.fr
Version: 3.95.1-0.rhfc1.dag
Version: 3.95-0.rhfc1.dag
Version: 3.93.1-1.rhfc1.dag
Version: 0:3.93.1-0.lvn.8.1

so none of the packages is from RH or Fedora.

BTW: I like sound-juicer better than grip. But "of course" it wont do
mp3 by default, you need to get the gstreamer-mp3 plugin and a update to
Dag Wieers package or rebuild from src.rpm.
