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.

I've tried the change on lucid but it seems the quality stays around 125k, not sure if that works as it should, let's get testing on the new upload to maverick before considering that for lucid updates
