Though frankly 160kbps is probably overkill. The 96kbps OGGs in the GOG Dungeon Keeper release sound fantastic for instance.

It appears the replacement OGG files are not needed anymore. It appears to me the game now uses a disk image (LBA.GOG) which should have the original, uncompressed, audio CD tracks.
However, there seems to be some timing issue with the tracks (first two seconds missing from e.g. the menu music), which can be fixed by editing LBA.DAT with Notepad, to look like this (you can remove all the text LBA.DAT, and replace it with this; also mentioned already before earlier in the discussion):

So, I made a manual edit, since the delay seemed to be exactly 2 secs each time.
I double checked (by ear), playing LBA.DAT in vlc, and comparing track lengths with the rips from my cd (in foobar2000, then in vlc). Track 6 seems to be one sec shorter on GOG cue, but it's one sec of silence anyway. Also, you can here it's a split second shorter at the beginning of the tracks, but really a splittery-splitty-split...
Anyway, here's my LBA.DAT corrected, feel free to use it, tell me what you think, and if somebody wants to make a more precise job with an ascii editor, please do.

But now I'm wondering why GOG hasn't updated their own files yet. Your post was 4 years ago... I don't like the idea that everyone who's bought this GOG game in those years will either have to put up with the bug, or try to fix it themselves.
What is the right protocol for encouraging GOG to update this kind of stuff?

Contacting support. I suppose submit your own solution in this case. Be sure you are making changes from the latest installer.
