It should _not_ as it's an mp3 encoding library and not a sound player.

This is strange. I also have an amd64 type of machine and x64 can
find and open libmp3lame.so.0 on my system.
It seems you are right; I deleted the soft link, started x128 & x64 and
sound was still available. I just got this error message on the console:
opening dynamic library libmp3lame.so failed!
ERROR setting up dynamic lame lib!

Which emulator did you try? Do you see "Sound: Available sound
devices: ..." line in the output of your emulator and what does it
contain?
I tried x128, x64, xplus4.
From the console:
Sound: Available sound devices: pulse alsa uss dummy fs dump wav voc iff
aiff mp3 soundmovie
Do you also see "Sound: Opened device ..." in the emulator output?
Sound: Opened device `alsa', speed 44100Hz, fragment size 21,3ms, buffer
size 106ms
Also interested about your setting, please run:
$ grep SoundDeviceName ~/.config/vice/vicerc
SoundDeviceName="alsa"
SoundDeviceName="alsa"
SoundDeviceName="alsa"
SoundDeviceName="alsa"
SoundDeviceName="alsa"
SoundDeviceName="alsa"
As you see from the result, I have tried the setting for all emulators.
Let me explain the full scenario: My system is a Debian Buster, updated
from Stretch. ALSA only system. After updating I initially had no sound
on VICE, tried to copy the old vicerc file, later started with new
configuration. Still no sound. When the emulator started (whether x128,
x64 or xplus4) it showed a message about not able to open pulse
(apparently the default sound choice). The problem was that I could not
even check the Settings menu -> audio settings -> enable sound playback
tick, in order to enable sound and the change to ALSA. I also tried
editing vicerc and setting ALSA and enable sound manually, still I
didn't have sound.
After looking at the console messages about liblame and adding the soft
link on my system, I could check Settings menu -> audio settings ->
enable sound playback. So I supposed that was the solution. Apparently
not, since deleting the soft link sound is still available and the menu
accessible.
I can't tell what affected my access on Settings menu -> audio settings
-> enable sound playback setting.
