Thank you. I guess I'm gonna have to stay with grip though, as I can't make 
sound-juicer to take into consideration what I write as parameters.
Even with : 
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! 
id3v2mux
or :
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=0 ! 
id3v2mux

It keeps encoding using a 128kbitrate. There is a bug imho.

I've tried to reboot each time between my tests, but no way to make it to 
accept a variable bitrate with the best encoding schema as possible.
