Can't get LAME transcoder to down-sample bit rate

[pkrawitz]

My FLAC songs are streaming to my iPhone at nearly 1 MB. I can't restrict the bandwidth, which causes breaks in the music.

Here is what I did:

1. I installed the transcoding pack for Windows. Because my Subsonic program is installed in the D:/Program Files/Subsonic directory, I put the executable transcode programs into both the C:/subsonic/transcode and D:/subsonic/transcode directories, just in case.

2. In Settings/Users, I created a user named "iPhone" with a restricted bit rate of 128.

3. In Settings/Players, I created a player name "iPhone," also with a restricted bit rate of 128.

4. In Settings/Transcoding, all the options for conversion, including FLAC to WAV first, and MP3 next, are selected.

5. I verified that proper file extensions are listed in Settings/General

6. On my iPhone, with the iSub application installed, in Settings, I selected a maximum audio bitrate of 192 for both WiFi and 3G.

The pertinent parts of the log are below. There is an error writing to the MP3 Output:
