Is this fairly new?  I had never had a problem before, but I may not 
have been trying to do anything with multimedia on Sarge before.

I tried this, but used the line:

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sarge main

aptitude could not get the Packages file from that source.  I checked:

http://www.debian-multimedia.org

and there's a note to use:

deb http://mirror.home-dn.net/debian-multimedia sarge main  

instead if you're still on Sarge.  I've tried that a couple times to be 
sure, but aptitude still can't get the Packages file.  I downloaded 
debian-multimedia-keyring and installed it with dpkg.  Then when I did 
an update, there was no problem reading the Packages file.  From there, 
installing lame worked perfectly.

Thanks for the help on that!
