Well, the attached picture got stripped along the way (zip file
filtering), so it's not clear what exactly is the difference. I would
say however that what you may be observing is the effect of the 50-Hz
high-pass filter that is applied only in voip mode. Keep in mind that in
the end what counts is the sound quality, not how nice it looks on a plot.

No, that's an encoder-only property.
