Theoretically, there isn’t one. Vorbis is tuned for bitrates of 16kbps to 128kbps PER CHANNEL. But there’s nothing in the spec that says you can’t encode a file at 512kbps or 8kbps. The current encoder supports the following bitrates: 64-500kbps stereo and 32-256kbps mono (at 44.1kHz sampling rate). Lower bitrates will be officially available in future versions.
