� I wonder if that's because it's classical or choral music you're encoding, & not
heavy metal or techno. Your music may not be forcing the use of short blocks as often
as some other genres.
� Can we really say whether 32 or 44.1kHz sounds best at 128kBit/sec (or lower?)
unless we also say whether we're encoding Enya or Metallica? I guess it doesn't hurt
to try all sample rates & see what sounds best with a few test cases before doing a
whole stack of encoding.
