I talked with Jonathan today about this.
Currently the only way to get rhythmbox to use a new lame preset, is to first
create the preset.
In python this looks like something like:
import gst;
l = gst.element_factory_make("lamemp3enc");
l.props.quality = 2.0;
l.save_preset("precise-defaults")
This will create the preset in
~/.gstreamer-1.0/presets/GstLameMP3Enc.prs
We will need to ship the preset so it ends up
/usr/share/gstreamer-0.10/presets/ and reference it's name in the
rhythmbox.gep.
Attached you will find the preset and the updated rhythmbox.gep which
references this preset.

Title:
No Settings are available in "Preferred format", only preset defaults
are used
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
This has been going on since 11.10 dev, maybe should be addressed
In Edit - Preferences, the Settings button is greyed out & unavailable. So
there is no user available means to adjust encoding for vorbis, mp3, mp4, ect.
Even using something like sound-juicer to change the very same 'Preferred.. '
is of no use, Rhythmbox doesn't use.
