LAME's voice modes turn off short blocks and apply a lowpass filter
around 12 kHz. In its first draft some lower MDCT coefficients were
dropped (something like a highpass filtering, we had no filter code
at that time), but not nowadays.
I can't tell you if someone is working on an intensity stereo mode for LAME,
but I don't think so.
Maybe for lower constant bitrate modes we have to rework the bit allocation
scheme.
