wow. you the man as they say.

FYI I stubbed in the fixed-point 4 subband stuff for now but I'd 
eventually like to see it in there. Curently it may not behave right 
when you build with USE_FIXED and then encode with 4 subbands (it tries 
to use floating point)

I don't know if you've used 4 subbands much, but it sounds quite 
respectable and it would allow us to scale down to some of the 
smallest/slowest embedded processors out there (memory permitting).

you probably saw that a2play has some rough options for encoder params, 
jut the -t (thrifty) flag.

nice
