 This is a good opportunity to
 finally get the mpglib fork in lame
 replaced
 with libmpg123. I know we're short on developer time
 here …



Different point of view here.
I think this is the right time for lame to get rid of mpglib, following the old rule of "doing one thing, and doing it well".
Lame encodes audio into layer3 bitstreams, period.

On the other hand, the same level of features may be achieved using libsndfile, now that layer3 encoding is not encumbered by patents anymore and that library is going to support mpeg decoding.
See https://github.com/erikd/libsndfile/issues/258
so, when libsndfile will offer audio mpeg decoding (hopefully very soon), then lame will just link to libsndfile and we'll get the same ability to encode already encoded audio content.

Finally, IMHO lame should not concern about mpeg decoding, both mpg123 and madplay are already there, doing the same job.
