Title:
  The default MP3 profile is broken

Status in GNOME Media Utilities:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-media package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-media source package in Lucid:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-media

  By default the "CD Quality, MP3" profile is broken.

  It seems to encode to 128kbit CBR, while it intends to encode to VBR Quality 6.
  Changing the VBR Quality has no effect at all.

  I was told the 'lame' encoding plugin has been deprecated, and it's being
  replaced by 'lamemp3enc'.

  I attached a patch which changes the default, including the adding of a xing
  header. This will make sure Totem and others will properly display the file's
  bitrate and length.

  I hope this can be resolved in a future update for Lucid.
