Fwiw, all of that should be easily doable using gst-launch, something
like
gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=xxx ! id3demux ! mad ! lame XXXX !
id3v2mux ! xingmux ! filesink location=xxx

The lame XXXX should be replaced with the appropriate parameters to get
the encoding bitrate you want (I don't remember it offhand). And the
pipeline probably needs fixing here and there to fix typos/missing
elements ;)
