The "lame" _encoder_ is utilized by many other programs. Its
absence might cause problems for example for the following
construct: youtube-dl -> ffmpeg -> lame. So if there is a
way to switch from "lame" to a different encoder which can
be installed via "pkg install", the installing & updating
problem could be solved.
