Thank you very much for the advice which I shall gladly take.

OK, my choice of --lowpass 15.1 is simply based on seeing LAME use around 14kHz
as a default, and my trying to squeeze the extra kHz bandwidth. I can't hear
any bad artefacts here, though I'm willing to be proven wrong.

Oh, lame says it's filtering like this: "transition band: 15097 Hz - 15484
Hz", which I thought would be alright because 16kHz would be the cutoff
frequency at 32kHz sample rate. Have I got this wrong? Yes, maybe -k would be a
better idea all round anyway. Sounds fine on my sources.
All the best,
John HW
