Yes, that would be interesting. libmad provides 28 bits, so a few years ago I figured it would be useful to drop only 4 of those instead of 12. I'm not sure how much that gains. I thought it would avoid rounding errors, and I thought it would bring a better approximation to the acoustic model implemented by MP3.
