[vorbis] vorbis 1.0 low bitrates

[Akos Maroy]

Hi,

I'm really happy Ogg Vorbis 1.0 is out.

I have some questions though:

- what are the valid bitrates / channel / sample rate combinations?

experimenting I find that at 22050 Hz I can not use 24 kb/s stereo, and 
at 16000 Hz I cannot use 18 kb/s stereo. Is there a table of valid 
bitrate / sample rate combinations?

<p>- is there documentation for the encoding API?

looking at the documentation I found some chapters on decoding, but none 
on encoding. looking at the libvorbisenc reference 
http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/doc/vorbisenc/index.html, for the api 
reference link the libvorbisfile (not the enc) reference page comes out.

of course I found encoder_example.c among the sources, and I hope that 
it contains all knowledge needed (e.g. I couldn't find out how to 
specify a maximum bitrate that will not be exceeded, for streaming purposes)

<p>Nice work,

<p>Akos
