Qustion about MP3 times as reported by totem plug-in and mplayer

I noticed something really odd with mplayer's information when playing MP3
files.
I have lots of these, many organized into m3u play lists, mostly albums.
But I noticed something really odd when I play the MP3s with mplayer - the
time signatures are often way off. For example, on the Moody Blues song,
Never Blame the Rainbows for the Rain, the actual time of play is 4:57, but
mplayer shows it as "A: 297.8 (04:57.8) of 462.0 (07:42.0) 1.0%" at the end
of the song (i.e., it thinks the song should be 7:42!). Also, Nautilus
shows this MP3 as being 5:14 (via the totem plug-in).
On the original CD, the time is printed as 4:57, and both the Gnome CD
Player and Sound Juicer say it is also 4:57.
I created the MP3 by using the Sound Juicer to extract the files to .flac
format, then a script I wrote that plays the .flac file back into the lame
encoder, so there are a few potential culprits here. I'm using Sound Juicer
2.16.0, flac-1.1.2-27.x86_64 and lame-3.97-1.el5.rf.x86_64 for the
ripping/encoding and
mplayer-1.0-0.34.rc1try2.el5.rf.x86_64/mplayerplug-in-3.40-1.el5.rf.x86_64for
the playback.
Can anyone explain the discrepancy here?
(I am also asking on the rpmforge email list in case someone there
knows....)
Thanks.
