Hmm.. I actually recommend lame over my encoder. I haven't done anything
on it for quite some time whereas the lame team have done a lot of work on
their encoder, particually regarding sound quality.

The lame homepage is located at:

  http://www.sulaco.org/mp3

I don't know if the source compiles directly on linux-alpha, but I know
there is source that works on alpha for NetBSD in their pkgsrc.

For patches, check out:

  ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/pkgsrc/audio/lame/patches

These are currently for lame version 3.50, though.
