I'm not familiar at all with lame, or the gst plugin, but I've had a quick
look.

As far as I can tell, the appropriate Xing header bits are implemented in
gstlame, except I can't see any way in the LAME API to actually write the Xing
header EXCEPT lame_mp3_tags_fid, which requires a seekable file descriptor in
order to write the header - which GStreamer can't supply because it's a
processing pipeline. 

I guess in order to implement the Xing header, we need to do it outside of
lame. The Xing header itself is not complicated, but finding out the statistics
to put into it is tricker. It might be a candidate for a separate xingwriter
element that goes in the pipeline after lame.
