I think it's great that this could be done, but there must be something I've missed.
My understanding is that a licence would probably be required to keep this project out
of trouble if the patching was removed & Lame really became an MP3 encoder. Wouldn't
that defeat one of the main purposes of this project? If it goes to licencing, I guess
the question must be raised- how much should have to be paid as insurance (against
scratched CDs & LPs, & chewed tapes) & convenience (of being able to stream audio such
as interviews, into a format much less clumsy than audio tape or PCM waveformats) ?
And how would this charge be applied to LAME?

PS- Would the name have to be changed to something like "LIFAME"? (Lame Is Finally An
Mp3 Encoder)
