Hi Chris,

not sure if there's a document describing this, I got the info from
the mail archives and emails with Jean-Marc. This is pretty important
for writing a GUI of course, so here's what I know (as implemented
in Sweep).

nb. this also takes into account DTX, which is basically optional on
top of VAD (setting VBR implies VAD).

As of 1.0, the following option combinations are valid:

        CBR
        CBR + VAD
        CBR + VAD + DTX
        VBR + VAD (or "VBR without DTX", added in speex-1.0rc3)
        VBR + VAD + DTX (ie. normal VBR)

Quality/bitrate:

        for CBR: either SPEEX_SET_QUALITY (int) or SPEEX_SET_BITRATE
        
        for VBR: either SPEEX_SET_VBR_QUALITY (float) or SPEEX_SET_ABR

AFAIK setting BITRATE or ABR will _override_ QUALITY or VBR_QUALITY
respectively.

Conrad.
