Just wanted to ask which audio formats for sound effects are valid. I looked at the base mod and could only see .OGG files. now I wanted to know if other formats are allowed too and if yes which formats

I recommend using OGG as audio format for modding purposes.
OGG has the big advantage that it can have the same quality as a high quality MP3 file while OGG uses a way smaller bitrate.

ok. just wanted to know if I should include an audio converter in a project.

Seems like this shows up in some search results and I just documented this, so here is the answer:
Support sound file formats are .ogg, .wav and .voc.
