A-ha. (Was Re: [vorbis-dev] -b flag at low sample rates?)

[Mike Shapiro]

Some of this turned moot, since I noticed when I padded the files with 
silence, although the kpbs dropped dramatically, the filesize barely 
changed.  Maybe the boundary conditions are very idiosyncratic with small 
files.

My real question goes along these lines:  We're trying to compress 11K mono 
files as much as possible.  An mp3 encoder seems to do about %25-50 better 
than ogg.  Is there any better I can do than simply running with 
-q0?  (Since there's no managed bitrate stuff below 44K in r3, it seems 
like I'm as low as I can go right now, other than downsampling further, 
which would degrade the audio quality below the threshhold of acceptibility 
for this application.)

Just as a form of download compression.  (i.e. transport)

Thanks for all the help,
