Oups, sorry for me useless answer. I didn't read properly.

I had another idea, but after downloading ices-0.2.2 I found it wrong,
too. I only had a look at ices2 so far, and it needs 64000 as bitrate,
not 64 if you want 64kbps.

Hm. Brendan Cully writes that VBR might cause the problem, but according
to your lame commandline, it can't ever get lower than 128kbps... so
ices should be reencoding in any case.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas. :P
