Yes it's probably an ATH/masking issue - but I think that's the way it
should work. So using the highest bitrates (256+) the encoder should
encode up to 19.5kHz-20kHz if there is really audible high frequency
content there (MPC works in the same way, right?). IMO the encoder
shouldn't encode past 20kHz under any circumstance since CD players
also cut-off at 20kHz.
