I know about variable bit rate encoding, but did wonder whether bodging
something together, like that, would work.  As well as the change in
rates, I was thinking whether there was a beginning and end of file
marker, and if you'd end up with a player stopping at the end of the
first MP3.

I have done similar things with MPEG videos before, joining a couple
together through brute force, and it usually works if they've got the
same x by y pixel sizing, but not always.
