[vorbis] sound quality / size

[Karol Pietrzak]

Greatly concerned for size, i just ripped an audio cd @ 22050kHz 
and mono sound.  Encoding using 'oggenc -b 1 -', the resulting 
Ogg file is around 30kb/s.  During the encoding process i was 
"warned" that the encoder is tuned toward 44.1kHz and encoding 
files in any other may result in degraded quality.  How worried 
should I be?  Is the advantage in size lost due to crappy 
quality (versus 44.1kHz mono files)?

comment: twinhq 96kb/s and oggvorbis beta4 ~100kb/s are 
virtually identical.  however, once twinhq is dropped down to 
80kb/s, all hell breaks loss and they sound shot-to-shit.  they 
hardly compare to 50kb/s OggVorbis files.  I used the latest 
version of the twinhq encoder (as of last week).
