Oggenc just doesn't know how to lowpass or downsample; if you feed it
an input source that's lower than 44.1kHz, it will Do The Right Thing
(tm); 11kHz inputs currently compress down to as low as 16kbit/s.

That said, the encoder modes are not yet well tuned for lower sampling
rates; specifically, the preecho handling doesn't yet scale down so
preecho will be slightly more annoying at 22kHz, and fairly pronounced
at 11kHz sampling rates.  That, obviously, will be corrected in the
not too distant future.
