So what you are saying is that your AAL2 layer processing is optimized 
for 44 byte payloads (PCM), this simplifies the AAL2 processing
significantly
so that it is only marginally more complicated than say AAL1.

Which is naughty in that you are not allowing variable payloads but I
understand
why you are doing it because the processing of AAL2 is enormous.

How do the standards people react to optimizations of this sort?
