Bug Description

Binary package hint: lame

Tested on ubuntu feisty
Lame 3.96.1-2ubuntu.

Lame always treats its id3 arguments as if they were Latin1.
This is not the case in Ubuntu since it uses a UTF-8 locale.
So lame should use iconv to convert them from the locale
charset to whatever encoding is used inside the id3 tags.

The lame CVS contains two patches do that for UTF-8 locale.
These changes have not been merged into the stable versions yet.

Won't work for other encodings, but that would be a progress.
