== Comment ==<br />
<br />
In the listening tests at [http://www.rjamorim.com/test/32kbps/results.html] the following quote is found:<br />
<br />
''"Although Vorbis didn't perform well, almost getting under the big tie at second place, part of it can be credited to the fact that it was being tested at 22kHz. The severe lowpass at this bitrate seems to have introduced serious quality issues in the samples tested. One can hope Xiph enables 32kHz sampling for 32kbps, and further tunes such small bitrates."''<br />
<br />
Does anyone know if this has been done or if plans are underway to make Ogg Vorbis more dial-up online streaming friendly?</div>Komencanto
