-t switch - disable INFO/WAV header

I used besweet to encode an ac3 file to mp3 vbr with the -t switch:

Quote
Lame's full command line switch reference:

-t    disable INFO/WAV header:

Disable writing of the INFO Tag on encoding.
This tag in embedded in frame 0 of the MP3 file. It includes some information about the encoding options of the file, and in VBR it lets VBR aware players correctly seek and compute playing times of VBR files.


after using the -t switch it seems that the files havent got the same filelength anymore (winamp and cooledit tell me two different values, both different to the one that should be right) and in winamp there are also only very low bitrates shown up (~30-90kbps + 33kbps as average bitrate for the mp3) although the besweet logfile says "Conversion Completed ! Actual Avg. Bitrate: 106kbps" which should be right (--alt-preset 112)!

i guess thats because of the lack of the info header tab as it is written in lame's switch reference???

Is there any tool which can show me the real values of the mp3 just to be sure?

I also want to split the mp3 afterwards. i hope that besplit doesnt need these tags for cutting?
