I put together iago[1] a little while back, from a few people's work, including a great article[2] by Hot Cashew on how he uses Emscripten to transpile the Ogg/Vorbis library to javascript.

Seriously, MP3? Not only is it old and poor quality compared to modern alternatives, by hosting an MP3 encoder it appears you are liable for a minimum royalty of $15,000 USD/year[1], because it's a patented format. This is why we need open codecs: Vorbis or Opus are much better quality and free to use! [1] http://mp3licensing.com/royalty/software.html
(Almost) completely unrelated.. why do HW manufacturers still use HDMI?
I work for a children's book company and wrote something similar for recording children reading aloud. Looking into the licensing on distributing an MP3 encoder to hundreds of thousands of machines it became unreasonable. I've started playing with conversation to Speex instead with conversion to MP3 server side, and that seems much more reasonable.

Speex has been deprecated. You should consider Opus instead.
