No, it was an intermediate solution. 192k is one second 48khz, stereo,
16bit integer audio data. That should be enough for most codecs we
support. The real solution would be a different method of passing audio
chunks, the push method. A codec knows how much data it has, requests a
buffer large enough for it and pushes to the player.
