This help article is the best for the basics. However, I changed the "GStreamer Pipeline" entry so that it would encode using VBR instead of a constant bitrate. A Fedora forum post gives a couple of entries using VBR at two different qualities. As the fedora site states, more information on the VBR quality can be found at this wiki Hydrogenaudio site. The problem is that this pipeline resulted in tags showing track times that were much too long. For example, the tag showed 20 minutes for a song that was about 4 minutes. So, after some searching, the best I could find was to add "xingmux" and "id3v2mux" at the end. Therefore, the entire pipeline entry should be (all on one line):
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc vbr=4 vbr-quality=2 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux
