I need to find a way to invert the phase on a single channel of
an MP3 file.  I've not seen any utilities that perform this,
and I know enough to do this with sox, except I've been assured
that re-encoding MP3s is a Bad Thing.  I'd be willing to 
hack the lame source if someone knowledgeable said this was
a feasible approach.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Background for those who might wonder how I came to this turn:
I've been digitizing my album collection, and after about 750
disks, decided to save a bit of space by downsampling a couple
of monaural disks to single channel.  This turned out to be 
a great way to remove the signal and leave me with a recording
of mostly surface noise.  On headphones or even computer speakers,
I could live with bad phasing, but someday I hope to hook this
up to a real stereo and I'd like to get this right.  Flipping
the phase on the sound card output won't cut it either, as I also
have a lot of ripped CDs for which the phasing is of course correct.
I think the guys who sold me the turntable must have wired the
cartridge wrong--I would administer a dope-slap except that I've
got several test albums and never applied them.  I've even seen
the phase inversion while looking at .WAVs in snd, but it never
occurred to me what was happening.
