is 192k an okay bitrate for an MP3 live stream? i always felt you need 192k at minimum to get more or less transparent audio from MP3. 160k works in a pinch. 128k is too little.

but 192k might eat bandwidth for someone on mobile.

@thor you could play around with opus as codec. any somewhat modern program should be able to play that, and it's a really nice codec imho. i one time tried to find the bitrate where the cutoff for me detecting artifacts was, i think it was below 100kbps with opus.

for an _mp3_ stream 192 is totally ok imho :)
