Well, there aren't official packages AFAIK, but, for instance,
I have a reasonably well-made package of lame 3.86beta and I
intend to send upstream some of the modifications I've made...

But I'd really love to see an MP3 encoder in Debian. On the
other hand, we now have Vorbis (players, plugins for XMMS and
encoders) on woody, so the situation is alleviated.

But still, MP3s are the de facto standard and I'd love to
contribute back to the community as a Debian Developer (I'm
not one).

I've been reading the MP3 Encoders mailing list (which focuses
on lame) and it seems that the Vorbis bits of lame are quite
broken right now depending on the features you use.

Anyway, its MP3 section is definitely superior to the
alternatives.

See the ogg123 package in woody. It works perfectly well with
my potato.

Unfortunately, I have no experience here with older processors
as my computer is a Pentium MMX 200 (overclocked to 250), so
it is quite fast and I wouldn't see the perfomance problems
(that's a downside of having a reasonably fast computer).

I'm using two boxes here, one with potato and another (my
guinea pig) with woody.

I'm seeing the problem above on the machine with woody (which
I corrected by manually editing the apt-move script).

And I'm seeing this problem in the potato box. I also noticed
that that if I used apt-get autoclean, it would delete some
packages that apt had just downloaded (from
security.debian.org, perhaps? I can't remember).
