On Tue, 2 Oct 2001, the following spilled from the mind of Brent Geery:

You can just write your mp3s to stdout. split(1) comes to mind.
(example)
lame foo.wav - | split -b 10485760 - ~/yourdir/tmp/mp3_prefix_

Same goes for input.
cat *.wav | lame - file.mp3
or
cat *.wav | lame - - | split -b 10485760 - ~/yourdir/tmp/mp3_prefix_

I hope this helps.
