FLASH: Compressing voice audio for flash?

[Jefferis]

I've tried to use some voice over audio for a client but it made the file 

so large that it was not realistic for anyone but a cable modem.  Using 

MP3 compression at the "fast" rate 16 bits, the voice was great. At 8 

bits, it sounds like they are speaking from the bottom of a well.  The 

original files were 22 hz 16 bit mono . aiff. broken up into sentences 

for syncing to events. 


He pointed to a site he admired {go to the video presentation link at the 

bottom}:

It has streaming audio, I believe and it seems to work, but what I 

noticed is that there is very little graphic action. So he "robbed Peter 

to pay Paul," so to speak...


lot of audio, few graphics = acceptable size.

or 

lot of graphics, little audio = acceptable size, 


but not a lot of both. 


WhenI attempted to stream the audio, we lost too many frames, since the 

project is more graphically intense. 


I am just wondering if there is some other method for pre compression for 

audio, like there is codecs for video, or jpgs for pictures, before 

importing into Flash that will allow for smaller but acceptably sized 

audio programs. 


Thanks
