It isn't. You are mis-interpreting the information in this thread (it's
been unclearly stated anyway).

The only portion that is in asterisk-addons is format_mp3, which allows
Asterisk to natively open MP3 files. However, that is of little use,
when you can use sox to convert those files into
slinear/ulaw/alaw/gsm/etc. so that no transcoding is needed when the
audio is played to a caller.
