I would be curious to know if you see these same issues when using Speex (a codec built with speech in mind; its maximum bitrate, in ultra-wideband mode, is 44kbps). I'd try recording a few samples of my own, but (1) I'm not absolutely certain of my pronunciation (though I certainly hope that I haven't mislearned it), and (2) I don't have a microphone.Clearly, 64kbps doesn't seem to be sufficient for speech. Due to this technical problem Matt's "p" in "pa" is absent and his "c" in "ci" is very shrill.
