Down-sample the file as low as you can stand, then see how far down you can
get the encoder to produce something listenable with it.

e.g.: sox infile.wav -r 22050 -c 1 -t wav - |oggenc -b 24 -o outfile.ogg -

Question: Can you use -q with rates below 44100?  Jack's announcement was,
to me, not clear about what is limited to 44100/48000 and what isn't.

Geoff.
