Hmm.. not sure what pages you've looked at, but SDL_mixer's main page 
(http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/) says:

"It supports any number of simultaneously playing channels of 16 bit stereo 
audio, plus a single channel of music, mixed by the popular MikMod MOD, Timidity 
MIDI, Ogg Vorbis, and SMPEG MP3 libraries"

Pygame's page here:

http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/pygame_mixer_music.html

mentions both MP3 and OGG specifically.

HTH,
