   192 with joint stereo (ms) is where acceptable starts, and gets better if   
   you start out with a quality sample rate conversion to 32 kHz sample rate.   
   Makes life easier for the encoder and thus the treble less splatty.   
      
   However you WILL end up doing it all in full wordlength, so why bother with   
   wordlenght-reduction?
