In case you haven't, try
`lame --longhelp`
or
`man lame`

You will need to specify -s for the freq of the wav file.
I would also look at -m
If you have a program that can examine the bitrates/channels etc for the
wav files you will find what you need.
>From what I can gather they are MONO at 128kbps and 80KHz

Hope that helps some..
