16/22 kHz is the format that Director likes best.  It always 
upsamples 11 Khz to 22 anyway when audio compression is applied, so 
that has no value.

Do you mean IMA compression?  MP3 made it obsolete.

Peak uses the exact same mp3 encoder as SoundEdit 16 (SWA Export 
Xtra) & this has been rated as the best fidelity mp3 encoder out 
there (I can send the URL of the test results if anybody is 
interested).

You should probably do it all in SWA/MP3.

Since SWA preserves cue points (whereas MP3 doesn't) you could whack 
the voice over to a much lower bitrate than the music.

(Peak LE supports Save As ... - just select MP3 or SWA from the popup).
