I assume you meant the 32 kHz limit :-)

Actually, I don't think there's much cost in supporting 22 kHz, so it'll
probably be in the final spec. It just isn't there because we don't
correctly handle the bands yet.

Well, even 16 kHz would be interesting **if** we manage to make CELT
competitive at that rate (which is not currently the case).
