� Joint Stereo: Joint Stereo shares certain bits between high frequency left
and right channels. This improves compression efficiency at a slight loss of
stereo separation. Lower frequencies are treated as normal stereo. Use Joint
Stereo to obtain the best overall quality at mid-to-lower bit rates. < 224
Kbit.

� Stereo: Stereo includes two independent channels. The total bit rate
remains constant, but the split between the channels can vary. The Encoder
uses this flexibility to improve quality by allocating more bits to the
channel with the more dynamic signal. Use the Stereo setting for best
quality stereo audio at higher bit rates.
