        The only thing you can do for the highest bands is adjusting
        the global quantizer stepsize and then try to color the bands
        where you have scalefactors for. This would require to compute
        masking for sfb21 (sfb12 for short blocks).

        Well, to my shame I must say, that I don't know if there are any
        audio experts at the University of Dortmund.
        All I   Learned About Mpeg Encoding   I gathered in the last year
        joining the LAME project in my spare time.

        A book I own for a few days that I can recommend is:
        "Psychoacoustics, Facts and Models", E. Zwicker, H. Fastl; Second
        Updated Edition, Springer Series in Information Sciences 22; 1999
        ISBN 3-540-65063-6, ISSN 0720-678X
