Is there a working mp3 encoder for opensuse 12 except from lame? I would like to recode a few mp3 files to lower bitrates but lame chokes on them with segmentation fault. There is no problem to play them with audacious or mpg123.

Easiest way: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE lame --mp3input #+END_EXAMPLE Your command doesn't work because the input is raw PCM. You will need to use the "-r" switch and specify the sample rate and stereo mode, for example: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE mpg123 -s | lame -r -s 44.1 -m j - #+END_EXAMPLE Charles -- "...and scantily clad females, of course.
