If you can convert to WAV, then use your favorite mp3 encoder to
convert wav to mp3. From abcde:
# program paths - defaults to checking your $PATH
# mp3
LAME=lame
GOGO=gogo
BLADEENC=bladeenc
L3ENC=l3enc
XINGMP3ENC=xingmp3enc
MP3ENC=mp3enc
# ogg
VORBIZE=vorbize
OGGENC=oggenc
# flac
FLAC=flac
# speex
SPEEXENC=speexenc
I note that mp3 encoders have disappeared from debian testing, though.
Note that there's loss in resampling.
