conventional resampling would have to be as a pipeline stage,
requiring extra buffering in addition to all the routines from sox.
But if the capability was in libsndfile, that would be a perfect

And I was going to make the input filename the default id3 title tag :-)
I would agree that we should keep LAME as single purpose as possible,
but Conrad's id3 patch was clean and unobtrusive, and adds some
features somewhat related to encoding.
