[Speex-dev] Bitrate Question

[Jim Crichton]

Read the manual:  http://www.speex.org/docs/manual/speex-manual.pdf

Table 9.2 has the bitrates for narrowband, 10.2 has the bitrates for 
wideband.

The next step after 8000 is 11000, so any "-- bitrate" value between 8000 
and 10999 will give you the 8kbps mode.

> Hello developers,

> A few more details about my configuration:
> I am using SPEEX encoder version 1.1.12
> I am encoding a narrowband (8KHz) wav file
>
> The exact commands I issue are:
> speexenc --bitrate 8000 file.wav file8.spx
> speexenc --bitrate 10000 file.wav file10.spx
> Both of the encoded files, file8.spx and file10.spx are the same size.

> Please advice on what I am doing incorrectly.
