Hello,
If I've well undertood what the VBR quality setting means (-V x), it is the allowed
number of bands where distortion (in the psycho-model sense) occurs .
I'd like now to take the problem from the other side: in CBR, is there a way to have
statistics about the number of distorded bands

hmm, this was the meaning of -V in the very first beginning
of LAME's VBR code.

Actually you influence the absolute threshold of hearing aka ATH
and the masking thresholds computed by GPSYCHO. VBR tries to
avoid distorted bands, but sometimes, when there are not

I would say that 20 distorted bands at 0.1dB is preferable, and assume that this is
the choice of lame's algorithms. Is this assumption wrong ?
Depends. If it is maximum
