Check Settings, Configure K3b, Plugins, K3b External Audio 
Encoder, Mp3 (Lame) settings, I suggest:

lame --preset standard --tt %t --ta %a --tl %m --ty %y --tc %c - %f

and check:

[x] Write Wave Header

so that Lame gets the proper wav input.

You can also try the -r switch, but I think that in this way Lame 
cannot understand the track lenght.

Don't touch the kernel, please :-)
