Hi Fabian,
are there some patches which are not in CVS but would be important to
have in CVs (not only for debian)?

In the LAME CVS I changed configure to not silence the assert()s in the
code when doing a release-build. Not a nice error message when a
corrupt input is detected, but at least a defined one. Maybe you want
to check if this is something to add to debian until we have a new
release.

Bye,
Alexander.
