Hi,

the bandwith is approx double compared to G.711, since it uses 16bit
(signed) integers, whereas G.711 uses 8bit integers.

The human ear has approximately a logarithmic sensivity, and
G.711 has a logarithmic resolution. Thus the quality gain of
slinear compared to G.711 may not be very much.


Roger.
