You don't need to run vbrfix afterwards. With a recent lame,
just add the option --nogaptags and it'll work.

lame disables the VBR tags by default when doing gapless encoding
because many players don't properly strip metadata, so the
playback wouldn't be gapless. Rockbox is clever enough to handle
this.

lame --help and
lame --longhelp

are very useful here.
