what about
Sound Forge?

are they public? don't you have to pay for them? or was it when you wanted to do a program that encodes in mp3?

that's quite difficult, because 2 decoded auido strams may be diferent and you'll hear the same. what you're looking for should do a frequency analisys and show results... quite complex software...
If what you want to compare are 2 wav (for example) files compressed in mp3 with diferent parameters (bitrate, quality, ....) maybe you can do this:
Open the files (MP3s) in soundforge and "substract" the files. You can do this inverting one file, copying it and pasting (with mixing) on the other. now listen to the result and hear the diferences yourself. (soundforge can show specographs, i think).
This way is a bit dodgy but maybe you get what you want. I'm not sure, I never did that.
