Thanks for the tips. I tried what Benjamin suggested, and it seems the 
problem is because g.722.1 uses 320 samples, and the mdcts in FFmpeg 
work only with powers of 2. Cook uses powers of 2. Vorbis also supports 
only powers of 2.

Any thoughts on a solution besides implementing my own dct? Can the mdct 
and fft functions be modified to accept any number of samples?
