I've done some test encodes with a few samples and found that below Q3, artifacts become rather noticeable. Audio is more of a subjective media anyway. I know many a person who would find Q1 == amazing quality.
But I highly think it should _not_ be recommended as a good quality level to encode to. Remember people do read these forums and actually do some of the things recommended in them. We don't need a bunch of fansubs having Q1 vorbis in them coupled with bad or good video.

No need for that. TheFluff already covered it.
Maybe I'll waste some time one day and ABX on the differences between 64kbps HE-AAC and 80kbps vorbis. Or better yet, I'll save my ears from the torture and just not care...
