So, one more observation in Opusenc. If I either set the bitrate lower 
than 12 or if I set the "--expect-loss" switch to anything other than 0 
and keep the bitrate at 12, the additional noise (occupying the 
frequencies up to 12 kHz) actually disappears completely! This makes the 
phenomenon I described yesterday even more noticeable.
