I think it'll be good enough. Keep in mind that speech codecs have musch
looser quality requirements for these things than, say, Vorbis.

Of course it's dependent on the data. For every frame, the encoder
estimates LPC coefficients and transmit them (as LSP's) to the decoder.
The decoder uses these coefficients (that change for each sub-frame
because of filter interpolation) to reconstruct the signal. Regardless,
it's really no big deal.
