gollark: If you run it over a phone connection as if it is audio, you are subject to the same issues.
gollark: And in practice you'll get less because stuff isn't optimized for the precise weirdness of phone codecs and there's some lossiness.
gollark: If your phone uses a bitrate of, say, 64kbps, for encoding "voice" audio, then by the pigeonhole principle it is literally impossible to send more than 64kbps down that by meddling with audio.
gollark: Low-bandwidth, at least.
gollark: But it will be very slow.
