Fw: [Speex-dev] Results of Automated Batch Tests

[Jean-Marc Valin]

Hi Nic,

While your tool may be useful to detect regressions (I'd include
fixed-point tests too while you're at it), it cannot be used to really
estimate quality. You could obtain a much better SNR from Speex, but the
sound quality would be much poorer. As for narrowband, it's designed for
8 kHz, so if you send it 16 kHz audio, it'll still think it's 8 kHz and
put twice the nominal bit-rate in it.
