Right now, rbspeexenc always uses wideband mode, which uses a 16 kHz
sample rate. To test out ultra-wideband mode (32 kHz), you pretty much
need to use the official speexenc binary. Just feed it any 32 kHz file,
and it will encode it to a UWB mode .spx file which you can listen to
on any Speex capable player (including Rockbox).
All the "-q" levels generate the same sample rate file and use the
same encoding mode. The difference is really just in how many bits each
frame of samples gets.
