For the record, it's Fraunhofer.
Another MP3 encoder is LAME (http://www.sulaco.org/mp3/). Actually
it's a patch to the ISO reference implementation of an MP3 encoder.
In light of the MP3 patent issue, it would probably be safest not to
include the encoder itself in the distribution, but I wonder if there
is an RPM of this encoder that is located in a country where the MP3
patents don't apply.
Another option is to buy the Xing MP3 encoder for about $20 (US) if
you're serious about MP3's.
