The -write_xing 0 option seems to be fixing it.  I'm curious what it's actually

What was the issue to begin with / what problem is it solving?
Is it doing other things to the converted file that might be worth knowing 
about?  Any down sides to using it?


The Xing tag allows players to do more precise seeking within variable bitrate MPEG files. It can also contain some other information like the encoder version (LAME).

If your MP3 file uses constant bitrate it should be fine to disable the Xing/Info tag.
