128kb mp3 is good enough for most people most of the time, but it isn't CD quality. Having said that, 64kb Opus is almost or about as good as 128kb mp3.

I wonder how well these techniques can be applied to audio.

I doubt the general technique described here would have any applicability to audio, unless the idea is to dynamically create a text-to-speech model of the speaker and transmit only text. I don’t see that being practical any time soon.
