In re converting, it won't be very good, particularly at the low data
rates you are discussing. The reason is that each method throws away
different parts of the data, and when you encode it first with one
method, then convert to the other, you wind up with artifacts of both
methods, and the result isn't anywhere near as listenable as either by
themselves.
