Eac Compression Options With Ext. Lame

How does EAC format the command-line when using an external LAME encoder? I have specified in EAC under "additional command line options" --alt-preset standard
However, the resulting file has a different number of bytes than when I use LAME on the command-line (or with a frontend) using only the --alt-preset standard option. I did not specify adding CRC info or an ID3 tag in EAC so I could do a proper comparison. Is EAC passing other options to LAME that I do not know about? How can I make the resulting file identical to using LAME with the command-line, which I prefer because I know exactly what it is doing.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Choose the use _external_ _encoder_ and type in whatever commandline you like.
Maybe you should check out an EAC tutorial also.

Don't forget the %s %d at the end of the command line. People seem to forget that all the time and wonder why their encoding doesn't work.

%s: Source file
%d: Destination file

EAC replaces those with file names when calling external encoder. Without them encoders wouldn't know which file to compress and wouldn't do anything.
