That's one of the most creative ways to destroy quality with Speex that
I've seen recently. Please refer to manual about why -n and 44.1 kHz
don't mix.

Normal, submodeID 5 is the default bitrate for narrowband.

Only if you never change the bit-rate. But speexenc -n was a dumb idea
in the first place...
