Technically it's possible, I just didn't want to clutter the interface
with such an option. If you're a real stickler for high-quality lossy
formats, I don't see why you'd use MP3 anyway.
If you want Banshee to rip MP3s as VBR, first explore the pipeline
options that gstreamer exposes for lame:
$ gst-inspect-0.8 lame
You can edit pipeline profiles for banshee in
GConf: /apps/Banshee/EncoderProfiles
Edit that key (it's a string list, and edit the lame profile). The
profile is a | delimited list. The last field in this list (by default
is 'none') can contain arguments to pass to the encoder pipeline.
Here's the default lame profile:
lame|Lame MP3|mp3|lame|bitrate|false|none
Here's a version that [should] enable VBR (I haven't tested it):
lame|Lame MP3|mp3|lame|bitrate|false|vbr=4
Also note this only works with lame. We do not support VBR on the xing
encoder (but I doubt you have that installed anyway ;)
There are *many* options you can pass for tweaking VBR and other
settings. Given this option, I don't see how grip is any better ;) In
addition to ripping in Banshee, you'll also get cover art and automatic
library integration.

P.S. From the gst-inspect-0.8 lame output:
vbr : Specify bitrate mode
Enum "GstLameVbrmode" (Current 0, "No VBR
(Constant Bitrate)")
(0): No VBR (Constant Bitrate)
(2): Lame's old VBR algorithm
(3): VBR Average Bitrate
(4): Lame's new VBR algorithm
vbr-quality : VBR Quality
Enum "GstLameQuality" (Current 5, "5 - Default")
(0): 0 - Best
(1): 1
(2): 2
(3): 3
(4): 4
(5): 5 - Default
(6): 6
(7): 7
(8): 8
(9): 9 - Worst
