I think it's getting confused by the '-' in the output filename.

KAudioCreator uses:
lame --preset standard --tt %{title} --ta %{artist} --tl %{albumtitle}
--ty %{year} --tn %{number} --tg %{genre} %f %o

but does not look like it gets the audio data via stdin. In fact, I
believe it rips the CD to .wav first, then encodes the .wav file.
I would guess that K3b gets audio via stdin.

I wonder, if you were to replace %f with a -, and %o with %{o} would it work?
