A little bit on a tangent, a technique called Linear Predictive Coding, which was developed by telecoms in the sixties and seventies, has a calculated bandwidth of 2.5 kbit/s. The sound quality is not any good, and telephone companies of the time didn't use it for calls, but the paper I read describing the technique says the decoded speech is "understandable". LPC found its way into musical production, in a set of instruments called "vocoders" used to distort a singer's voce. There are, for example, variations of it in something called "Orange Vocoder IV".
So, now I'm wondering, can MLow be used to purposefully introduce interesting distortions in speech? Or even change a singer's voice color?
