Thanks! -oac mp3lame works (though the default settings seems to 
complain that the default samplerate's too high). Is there a general 
rule for bitrate-to-samplerate ratio?

I still can't figure out what broke libmp3lame in libavcodec, though. 
The fact that it was working only 5 days ago is puzzling.
