Does that code work? It looks ok at first glance.
Latest reports are that lame is thread safe and can do what you are
trying. The only issue seems to be that at least on one system, the
default stack size for a thread was 128K, which is not enough for
LAME. Default stack size in linux (glibc 2.1) for pthreads is 2M,
which should be large enough for LAME.
