WTF, they really use the lame frontend (and rely on specific compile 
time options for it to work properly) instead of using the shared 
library which is available for ages?! I hope there is a good reason 
for this, because losing sndfile support for the frontend is pretty 
much a pity. It allows for a much wider range of input formats (which 
has indeed proven usefull for me when trying to convert spurious audio 
files found on my mobile phone).

The reason Marilat switched back to fileio=lame was AFAICT a bug in 
reading from stdin with sndfile enabled, which was fixed by the Gentoo 
patch that I applied in our package.

However, is there a bug report/request against kioslave to switch from 
the command line frontend to the shared library? Is this KDE3 or KDE4 
(I really have no idea about KDE at all)?
