So far I failed using lame: I could create wav files and play them with x11amp. The mp3 output of lame, however, is a sound-less mp3 file. Here is the output from 'lame a.wav a.mp3': ----------------------------------- LAME version 3.93 MMX (http://www.mp3dev.org/) CPU features: i387, MMX (ASM used), SIMD Using polyphase lowpass filter, transition band: 15115 Hz - 15648 Hz Encoding a.wav to a.mp3 Encoding as 44.1 kHz 128 kbps j-stereo MPEG-1 Layer III (11x) qval=2 Frame | CPU time/estim | REAL time/estim | play/CPU | ETA 23016/23019 (100%)| 2:34/ 2:34| 3:16/ 3:16| 3.8807x| 0:00 average: 128.0 kbps LR: 1381 (5.999%) MS: 21638 (94.00%) Writing LAME Tag...done ----------------------------------- Using x11amp mp3 player, the output file has nothing but silence and a scratchy 'blurp' every now and then. Any idea what's going wrong here? Thanks, Rob.
