Either that or G.711.

G711 is neither high bitrate nor usable for music.

Then use G.722, it works fine for music.

No, g722 is still a wideband speech codec. Its available frequency goes up to 7 kHz. The uncompressed audio this thread began with goes up to 22 kHz. With g722 you're losing most overtones, or even all overtones from the top of a piano. Please don't use g722 for music apart from on-hold muzak.
