I know gogo, lame and bladeenc. All of them take wav-files.
Bladeenc is reported to produce not so good quality on low sampling rates (but
my computer sound system isn´t adequate to determine, if this is really true).
Lame is (or at least was) based on the Fraunhofer ISO-reference implementation
and does a good quality job. Gogo is a pentium optimized version of lame, so the
encoding is much faster. I´ve heard once, that gogo in the meantime also
supports AMD K2/3, but I´m not sure about this. Check on their homepage.

Ciao
Siegbert
