Thank you, Steven and David!

I want to process the files on a server, so it has to be done by command
line.
And I want to avoid hosting huge wav files c-sound processing them, keeping
track of resulting wavs and convert them to mp3s...

The system opcode is a completely new area for me. I'll create a new post
for asking specifically about the possibility of running liblame that way...

Thanx!

Jonas
