I listened to the file, and what I hear is typical of very high mp3 compression. This might be coming from the fact that you are forcing output to 44.1kHz. At 56kbps there are not enough bits available to preserve full bandwith. You have to accept some compromise, that is trading some bandwidth against artefacts. I would suggest you to try "lame --alt-preset cbr 56". Listen to the result, it is very likely to be way better...
