With some reengineering of nvrec, perhaps. Xmms and its ilk avoid direct
linkage of css libraries, which cannot be included in Debian, by dynamically
loading them. See libdvdread2. This library makes use of libdl to do the
dynamic loading.
The nvrec develoeprs could use the same trick to allow nvrec to use liblame
when present without making it a dependency. To be useful to other
projects, such dynamic loading should be abstracted into a separate library
layer, analagous to libdvdread2.
