LAME woes

[Michael Zacherl.]

I think I could narrow it down ... it's not entirely consistent though:
Earier I suspected something like the byte order - at least the sound reminded me on that type of error.
I did some test files and the one not working has 24 bit data.
Well ... LAME can't handle 24bit files?
iTunes does.
Admittedly the built-in help didn't enlighten me.

(what's up with the different settings, I dunno)
