Should be no problem.
below, one typical lame command that I use : lame -r -s 16 --bitwidth
16 -m m -q 0 --noreplaygain dw_c0106.wav trial3.mp3
Let's see now. Your .wav file is *not* raw PCM data, so forget the
-r option. You don't need -s either, since the sampling frequency is
stored in the .wav header, and running 16000 Hz on a 22050 Hz input
file would sound bad. lame -m m file.wav file.mp3
I've just tried this above. I've also tried the same with
--noreplaygain... to no avail. I get mp3 files that are inaudible.
Besides, the playing time is much smaller than that of the original
.wav file (2 sec instead of 22 sec). Only in playing with the -r and
-s and --resample options have I been able to get mp3 audiofiles which
playing time matched that of the wav file... but this was inaudible.

I really don't know where to go from here...

Strange things are going on. Send the original 22-second .wav file to
me so I can look at it. Mailing address above is valid when the CAPS
are removed.
