i did some more testing with
shoutcast~.
in fact, the situation's not so bad, resampling
will work
for the values accepted by lame,
these allowed combinations of samplerate/bitrate
are :
ALLOWED
SAMPLERATE/BITRATES
MPEG-1 layer III sample
frequencies (kHz): 32 48 44.1
bitrates (kbps): 32 40 48 56
64 80 96 112 128 160 192 224 256 320
MPEG-2 layer III sample
frequencies (kHz): 16 24 22.05
bitrates (kbps): 8 16
24 32 40 48 56 64 80 96 112 128 144 160
MPEG-2.5 layer III sample frequencies
(kHz): 8 12 11.025
bitrates (kbps): 8 16 24 32
40 48 56 64 80 96 112 128 144 160
be aware that if you use higher samplerates, you'll
need more CPU power.
Also, about quality factor, here are the values to
use :
ALLOWED QUALITY FACTOR
:
-q
<arg> <arg> = 0...9.
Default -q 5
-q 0: Highest quality, very slow
-q 9: Poor quality, but fast
-h
Same as -q 2. Recommended.
-f
Same as -q 7. Fast, ok quality
so, -f stands for quality 7, and the higher is this
factor,
the poorer is the quality.
these informations are taken from lame's
3.89 man page.
cheers,

PS : these informations should be added to the
readmes ( for Windows and Linux ).
