I /think/ Evolution still relies on the crusty old Enlightened Sound
Daemon (ESD) for generating sounds, and I'm pretty sure ESD doesn't know
what the heck Ogg/Vorbis is.  Best stick with wav files, or convert the
ogg to wav.

In your case it might be less hassle to just disable keyring support and
fall back to the ol' ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution password file.  To do
that, reconfigure evolution-data-server with --disable-gnome-keyring.
