Just wanted to add that liblame-dev is the package that actually gives 
the needed file in /usr/lib (it is actually a link).

With just lame, you get:
$> ls /usr/lib/libmp3*
/usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0  /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0

With lame and liblame-dev, you get:
$> ls /usr/lib/libmp3*
/usr/lib/libmp3lame.a   /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so 
/usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libmp3lame.la  /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0
