I don't know the options to faad or lame well enough to
comment directly, but I use these 2 scripts, and they work well.
Maybe something will present itself.


----script-1----

#!/bin/sh

### cvt_faad.sh ###

FAAD=/usr/bin/faad
for M4A in $(ls *.m4a) ; do
    faad $M4A
done

----script-2----

#!/bin/sh

### cvt_faad.sh ###

FAAD=/usr/bin/faad
for WAV in $(ls *.wav) ; do
    MP3=`basename $WAV .wav`
    MP3="${MP3}.mp3"
    
    CMD="lame -h -b 192 ${WAV} ${MP3}"
    echo "${CMD} ..."
    $CMD
done
