Keep in mind that using fractional bits for codebook entries, etc., will 
increase your susceptibility to bit errors. If you're using something 
like a non-binary arithmetic coder, even with a uniform probability 
model, to pack the symbols, then a single bit error can desync the state 
of the decoder and cause the rest of the symbols in the packet to be 
read incorrectly.

Despite that, Rick, you can still weight the codebook search in the LSP 
domain. There was some discussion on the list about this back in June.

IIRC, you need roughly a 16th order LPC filter to do a decent job for 
wideband, and codec2 is currently only using a 10th order filter (which 
is fine for narrowband). Though at codec2 rates you may be willing to 
live with less than what others would consider "decent".
