The quality levels/bitrates are hard-coded in the various encoders.  
You'd need to change them and recompile the mythmusic plugin.

Defaults:


		Ogg quality	MP3 bitrate/profile

Low		0.4			128 kbps/STANDARD
Medium	0.7			192 kbps/STANDARD
High		1.0			256 kbps/EXTREME

Perfect = FLAC

The relevant source files are mythmusic/lameencoder.cpp & 
mythmusic/vorbisencoder.cpp.

Oh, and why on earth would you need 384 kbps ?  You're probably better 
off ripping to FLAC.
