lame doesn't tell you exactly what's wrong, but I've made the error
message a bit more clear. But you'll have a lot of conflicts if you
try to cvs up with the patch applied, due to the new code for
"backward compatibility" with the oh-so-ancient 3.88beta of
lame. Aside from autoconf stuff, the only thing worth updating is
src/id3.c, which should now properly update the metadata for the first
track...

ok, it is now.

Thanks, it's good to have some feedback (and better to hear that it's
working!). For the 24kbit stream, did you make it mono (set
ices:Channels to 1)? that helps a lot I find...
