This sounds a bit "walking the edge". What I do know for sure (read
it in my C'T), is that Fraunhofer _only_ has a patent of the _complete_
"audiosample to MP3" procedure. The patent explicitly states the
consequent execution of all these processing steps.
C'T suggested to write an encoder that, "for example", does not do the
Huffman-compression at the end of the line, but instead create some external
util to do this later on, this has _nothing_ to do with the FhG patent.

Just LIME would sound ok I think: Lime is an Mp3 encoder :)
Also a remark: Congrats to Mark Taylor and the other LAME developers.
On my site (http://www.r3mix.net) in the analysis section I had some strange findings
with
LAME370, but now with 380 these are all gone! (LF S splitup on sweep
+ VBR dB problem)
Great work and thanks for the encoder!
