The solution first: use up2date, yum or even apt if you don't want to
handle dependencies by hand, which can be tricky especially when trying
to install multimedia applications with a lot of dependencies.

No, it does no show that lame is installed! It show only a lame-libs
package being registred in the rpm db.

Ever thought about installing the GPG key from Dag's repository (or any
other you use like freshrpms.net)?

Often discussed the side effects of mixing repositories. Or should I say
in this case packages from different repositories?

Take a decision which repository you want to use and mainly stay with
that one. Configure your up2date, yum or apt to use that repository and
safe yourself headaches.
