Upgrading to 1.2.7 meant that the ogg DLLs and the mpeg library needed to be included separately, and they were quite big. Also, it crashed, I seem to remember. I think the import might not quite have matched the later DLL.
MP3s will still be played in those games that already include them. It's only on import that we convert them (yes?). It depends if we want to force authors to reimport or if we want to preserve back-compatibility with unstable releases.
