Some examples

 

• Encode a WAVE-file myfile.wav to a bitrate of 128000 bits/s, writing to a plain bitstream myfile.mp3
  mp3enc -br 128000 -if myfile.wav -of myfile.mp3
• Encode a plain PCM file (2-channel, 44.1 kHz) to a plain 56 kBit/s Layer-3 stream, using the encoder as filter
  readFromSoundCard | mp3enc -sti -sto -iff -nc 2 -sr 44100 -bps 16 -br 56000 -qual 3 | streamToWeb

Footnotes

...streamToWeb

The commands readFromSoundCard and streamToWeb are just symbolic names for whatever you would need to do to read from a soundcard and output the Layer-3 stream to the web
