No. It would require to write an additional layer (Systems) which I had no
chance to implement yet.

Indeed..

You can only specify the bitrate with the -u option currently.

Indeed, LAME is quite slow, but it's the only MPEG audio encoding library
I know for now. I was hoping to use toolame, for mp2 encoding, but this
project seems not supported anymore. Also, gogo is a very good optimized
version of LAME, but unfortunately it doesn't come with a separate
library, so it can't be linked to other programs, like FAME :(

Try lower the audio bitrate, but I'm afraid it won't change the CPU
consumption much.
