I’m in favor of removing the dependency on LAME, because of the patent
issues with MP3 encoders (see, e.g.,
<https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/LAME>.)

If someone wants to use ABCDE with LAME, they can still install LAME in
their profile and it will be automatically picked up by ABCDE.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
