Lame 3.98 = Bust? (Bubblyness in recordings)

You only need to listen to the first bit before I kick in the second channel of bass and the drums, but there is definitely something wrong with the Lame 3.98.

I've narrowed it down to lame buy changing to Ubuntu from Windows (no diff) and exporting the sample into Wave and Ogg Vorbis files.

The Wave file has no bubbly noise at all, and tho the Ogg file isn't the best quality (5/10) there just seems to be “extra” line noise:

Ogg file: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mjdzm1mymmj
Wave file: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jwkimzzmzdf

Sorry for the huge (11MB) wave file, and sorry for using mediafire for both, but I don't know any other place besides rapidshare/megaupload for non-mp3 audio files.

Anyways, here's hoping that someone who knows whats going on listens to the tracks.

Bump with some extra info.

I found a more recent version of lame, installed it, exported the riff. There was less bubbly, but its still there.

I did however find an audio converter and installed GStreamer-lame (EDIT: since I use Ubuntu. Im pretty sure the same idea would work in windows, since I had the same problem with lame when my laptop ran windows.). I converted the Ogg file above using it and there doesn't seem to be any bubble sound at all:

The original sample is still up to compare.

From this I can conclude only one thing. Audacity+LameEnc = bubbly sound. I do realize my laptop my be a factor, and thats why I was hoping to have someone with a different computer using Audacity to confirm or deny whether its just my laptop or not.
