ffmpeg for audio? hmm.. here's what i use:

* wav -> mp3: lame

* anything -> wav: mplayer (or the specific format decoder if one bothers)

* resampling: sox, it does much better quality. But it does not do mp3, so wav > wav

have fun!

But isn't ffmpeg itself use lame for mp3 encoding? I primarily use the app for wav -> mp3, but my planned feature is to create ffmpeg "templates" for conversion, so u can use it for video as well.
