A couple of quick thoughts:
I believe CRC is working correctly. It was added by Johannes Overmann
in lame 3.13.
The biggest (and hardest :-) unsolved problem: developing a good measure
of "quality" to be used for VBR encodings. Determining the number of
bits to use based solely on the current psycho acoustic model will give
pretty bad results. We have some fixes in there which are slowly
improving things, but the reality is that a average 128kbs VBR stream
generally does not sound as good as a fixed 128kbs stream, presumably
becuase of a small percentage of frames which are compressed too much.
