Technically it could be done if you tune the encoder only to output
one packet size, or use very constrained CBR. The latter will sound
absolutely horrible (just like CBR mp3), but the former might not be
too bad. In principle it should improve quality except for adding some
preecho, which audiophiles tend to hate. :)
