Are we talking about bandwidth or sampling frequencies ?
I think meant was to lower the sampling frequency from
44.1 kHz (frequencies - 20 kHz) to 32 kHz (frequencies - 16 kHz).
Imho it would make no sense to resample a CD (44.1kHz) and encode it then.
(Btw. Is 32 kHz a valid samplerate from the ISO specs ?)
It's easier and also quite efficient to lowpass at 16 kHz and encode it
then to mp3.
The problem with the resampling is not only the time it takes more to encode,
it's also quite annoying to get the noise from the resampling routines ...
