Speex dev - Mar 2006 - Encoding mode

Hello,

In the internet draft describing the SDP parameters for speex
I find this:

	 mode:  Speex encoding mode. Can be {1,2,3,4,5,6,any}
                 defaults to 3 in narrowband, 6 in wide and ultra-wide.

In the documentation I can only find the following request:

	SPEEX_SET_MODE

There is no description though what this request does.

I think the mode somehow maps to the bitrate, but I cannot
find a table that tells me which mode maps to which bitrate
for nb, wb and uwb codecs.

And what does it mean when mode=any?

Can someone explain me what the mode indicates?

Best regards,
Michel

Here's the info for narrowband:
http://www.speex.org/manual2/node9.html#SECTION00094000000000000000
For wideband and uwb, the modes are the same as the quality settings
(sorry, don't have a table).

Means: "I will take any mode you like".
> Can someone explain me what the mode indicates?
mode == bit-rate.

Note that the draft is still not finished. I'm still looking for someone
who knows this stuff (SIP/SDP/RTP/...) to help me finish it.
