What's the best way (on Linux) to add the VBR headers to tunes encoded with lame --nogap? (Remember that lame 3.89 can't do -t with --nogap).

Does it work to re-encode the MP3 file using --mp3-input at the same quality setting? Will this produce the same bitstream, or will it degrade quality further? If nobody knows, I guess I could look at it using mp3x, but I was wondering if anyone else had researched this yet.

DoeS aNyBody know of a stand-alone Linux utility to add the VBR header?
