The comment was about an outdated firmware. The newest pre-beta of
firmware version 1.44 has no problems with a -q 10 I just threw at it
(average bitrate 422 knps), and I suspect the same would be true for
1.40A/1.41, which already contained all of Monty's optimizations.
However, that was with headphones only, since I don't have a radio handy
to test it with MyFi. Your mileage may vary.

Hope this helps,
