Comment (by Kamedo2):

 I changed aaccoder.c line 806 from
 {{{
                 ? (refbits * 1.6f * avctx->sample_rate / 1024)
 }}}
 to
 {{{
                 ? (refbits * 2.4f * avctx->sample_rate / 1024)
 }}}
 This is certainly better, although exact optimal value is debatable.


 I encoded 2 days of diverse sounds with many settings, and listened to 2
 hours of the sounds. This encoder do a relatively good job even in abr
 96kbps. It's not a blind test, but I feel the improvement. Also, I
 compared abr 128kbps vs vbr -q 0.3, but still, abr is better. The vbr
 exposes its weak point in relatively quiet, tonal sections. Low S/N and
 stronger LPF effect.
