This article is from the MPEG FAQ, by Frank Gadegast phade@cs.tu-berlin.de with numerous contributions by others.
Sure! You'll find more technical informations about MPEG audio coding
in a variety of AES papers (AES = Audio Engineering Society). The AES
organizes two conventions per year, and perceptual audio coding has been
a topic since the middle of the 80s. Some interesting papers might be:
K. Brandenburg, G. Stoll, et al.: "The ISO/MPEG-Audio Codec: A
Generic Standard for Coding of High Quality Digital Audio", 92nd
AES, Vienna Mar. 92, pp. 3336; revised version ("ISO-MPEG-1
Audio: A Generic Standard...") published in the Journal of AES,
Vol.42, No. 10, Oct. 94
S. Church, B. Grill, et al.: "ISDN and ISO/MPEG Layer-3 Audio
Coding: Powerful New tools for Broadcast and Audio Production",
95th AES, New York Oct. 93, pp. 3743

An excellent tutorial about MPEG-2 has recently been published in a
German technical journal (Fernseh- und Kino-Technik); part 4, by E. F.
Schroeder and J. Spille, talks about the audio part (7/8 94, p. 364 ff).
