Another advantage I see in reducing the nominal bitrate for q0 to 48kb/s 
with a ~13khz lowpass is a smoother transition in average bitrate and 
frequency resolution from 22khz to 44khz sampling.  Currently there is a 
jump from 11khz (at 22khz sampling) to 15khz (at 44khz sampling -q0). 
 But then I suppose there is 33khz sampling but I don't think too many 
devices support it.

Something to think about: One global quality scale from 0 to 10.  0 = 
resample to 11khz, 8kb/s, through to 10 = original sample rate, high kb/s.

Ross.
