[Speex-dev] ultra wide band packet questions

If you're using ultra-wideband, be aware that it can sometimes sound
worse than wideband (depends on the input and who's listening).

It's not an update rate, it's a submode.

Only submode 0 is valid for UWB, i.e. an SBR-like high-band.

Maybe this just has to do with the rounding of bytes (e.g. if there's
only 4 bits used in the last byte).
