Oops, my second pipeline (which got me a 5.5 MB file) is wrong above, a typo. Here's the correct pipeline:
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=4 vbr-min-bitrate=96 vbr-max-bitrate=320 vbr-mean-bitrate=192 vbr=4 quality=0 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux
With "quality is just how good the general algorithm for encoding is. Even bitrate (for CBR useful) always (!) passes a default value. This is so confusing. ;-)" I meant the bitrate= and quality= values.
