I think making the encoder multithreaded would have high hack value --
i. e., it would be really neat, but I think it wouldn't be all that
useful. Typically, you have more than one track that you want to
encode, so you just start one encoder per processor, and there you
are.
I have access to a bunch of machines (after office hours), so I
basically just use a script that does:
ssh some-machine nice -19 /usr/local/bin/lame - - < track.wav > track.mp3
for all the cpu's that I have access to. Whoosh; and the album(s) are
encoded.
