Speex dev - Sep 2004 - added background noise problem?

I'm using 22khz wavs because 16khz doesn't provide the quality i need in
the original wavs. I can't get 32khz wavs because that part of the project
is finished and not redoable.  The .spx's don't have to be as high
quality,
so i guess i could convert them to 16khz.  I was trying 17kbps,
ultra-wideband, and VBR.

It's difficult to really respond as you've not provided any substantial 
details in your questions, sample test files, and specific details of the 
distortions discovered with using Speex.  I'm not even clear about what 
kind of audio files you're encoding.  At 22KHz, this is well beyond
what's
needed for clear (human) speech, even for female speakers.

With the past fortnight, we had a visit from the Borg Hive who provided 
sample test files and explicit details of the distortions encountered with 
various encoding methods.  It proved more useful and gave the list 
something to look into.  

If you provided a similarly detailed report, I imagine there will be more 
of a useful response from the Speex development community.
