Hi Brent, My lame is dated August 6, version 3.86. What I have found is that it falls apart with sampling rates below 11025 samples per second - it squeaks and groans when given an 8k wav file, whether it is 8 bit or 16 bit samples, but just raise the sampling rate to 11025 or even 16000 and 8 bit samples work just great. I am attaching a small recording using the parameters I described below. See what y0ou think. Chuck.
