You don't say which operating system you're using.

I'd recommend using the aoTuV version of libvorbis as your encoder, as you 
can get 44.1kHz stereo as low as 35kbps using their quality -2 mode.  If 
you're using Linux/Unix, you can download the sources from 
http://www.geocities.jp/aoyoume/aotuv/ and use Ices or whatever against it. 
If you're using Windows, get Oddcast v3 from 
http://www.oddsock.org/tools/oddcastv3 and select the aoTuV tunings during 
the install.
