You can change the output file of lame to be stdout or a pipe or sommat,
so that should be ok. mpg123 will play HTTP streams, iirc you just specify
the input filename as http://mooses.net/cabooses.mp2... Failing that you
could pipe the output of lynx -source http://mooses.net/cabooses.mp2 to
mpg123 then to lame...

I take it this is for streaming from sommat like a Psion wavefinder to a
network audio player... i.e. an inferior slimp3 ;)
