LAME puts a Xing header on all VBR encodings (MPEG 1,2 and 2.5).
For CBR, it only uses it if the tag can fit in a frame of the
specified bitrate - this usually rules out MPEG 2.
The tag just contains extra information in the ancillary data
section of a valid layer 3 frame. So it can be added to any
layer 3 bitstream.
