aften -b 384 -exps 32 -s 1 -bwfilter 1

Also, if you can increase the -w parameter without quality going below q=240 then that would be good. The -w -2 (variable bandwidth) option is too experimental to be used generally, but doing a test run with it can give you a good idea of how much you can increase the bandwidth without affecting quality too badly.
