Another decoder for freeformat streams is l3dec from FhG.
Version 2.72 has an -ff switch to search for free formats.
If you are interested to see what lame puts into the
ancillary data section, you can write it out into a seperate
file too.

usage:    l3dec bitstream [output] -switches
switches:  -h         display this help message
           -fb xxx    begin decoding with frame xxx
           -fn xxx    decode xxx frames
           -sa        search again after loss of synchronization
           -ff        search for free format bitstream
           -snd       write file with SND-Header
           -wav       write file with WAV-Header
           -aif       write file with AIFF-Header
           -aic       write file with AIFC-Header
           -h24       write hex 24bit output
           -ign       ignore error messages
           -sti       read input from stdin
           -sto       write output to stdout
           -a xxx     write ancillary data in file xxx
           -aba       ancillary data is byte aligned
           -afh       ancillary data in FhG mode                                

With 320 kbits free format streams l3dec is at its limits:

# Now decoding layer III, 44.1 kHz, free ca. 320 kbit/s, stereo
# frame no:  130
# 
# ERROR (300c): Granule exceeds maximum dynamic part length
