LAME tags

I've been writing a simple test set for decoding, and one failure (an
extra frame of silence at the start) was files that have an "Info" tag
instead of "Xing".  LAME writes this in CBR mode (perhaps to avoid
confusing apps that assume files with Xing tags are VBR).  Fb2k's "fix
MP3 header" command also writes this (for both CBR and VBR).
