* Add the "  Homepage: xxxxxxxxxxxx" line to debian/control.
- You don't need a ":" after it in the description in 
" points not requiring high quality and 192kbps when we need it: resulting"
- "Unfortunately, the problem is that many MP3 MP3 decoders estimate the" has
  to "MP3" words.
- clarify the "fairly random times" or rewrite it.

Optional:
* Can you patch the source or ask upstream to fix a typo in 'allways'?

-allways      always write even if not vbr
-makevbr      make it vbr(you need -allways also)

and what this '-allways' option means anyway? According to the README it
forces the program to write a new mp3 file even if the input file is not VBR,
but it doesn't seem to be working - I just checked and it said that the file
was constant bitrate and didn't write an output file.
