I'm too tired to read into any of these long-winded threads, but have to
ask:

Why would you want to use WMA? WMA is proprietary and Microsoft at that.
Why not use an open standard like OGG?

I take it you want better voice clarity over cell phones? Personally, I
think the voice clarity is fine where it is right now. I'd rather have the
bandwidth going towards data right now. The two, voice and data, will
eventually merge together with VoiP, anyway...
