Oops. Correcting myself, iLBC stands for "internet Low Bitrate Codec",
which is not strictly the same thing. Even so, it is used to refer to a
codec which is of the normal 8 kHz sample bandwidth. The wideband (and
proprietary) GIPS codecs are called iSAC and iPCM-wb and are the codecs
used by Skype and Gizmo. They both have 16 kHz sample rates.
