Just move the gain ahead of the quantizer into its own block:

   x -> a*x -> q(a*x)

It turns out that good old Jayant & Noll have a description of the model:

Applications to Speech and Video Prentice Hall, 1984

Thanks. I have Gersho & Gray. I am flipping through just now. What I can 
find is the "Additive Noise Model of Quantization" on pp. 148-150. 
However, they do not seem to mention the gain part of the model I am 
considering...

It's been 15 years since I last looked up these things, but
I'm pretty sure I saw it done like this in the book by
Gersho & Gray:

http://www.amazon.com/Quantization-Compression-Springer-International-Engineering/dp/0792391810/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228735331&sr=8-1

Check out this or similar books in your local library.

Does anyone know some examples where quantization is modeled by a linear 
model as follows:
  y = Q(x),
modeled as
  y = a*x + q,
where q is an additive noise, preferably white Gaussian.
See the following paper for an example:

Fletcher, A.; Rangan, S.; Goyal, V. & Ramchandran, K. Robust Predictive 
Quantization: Analysis and Design Via Convex Optimization Selected Topics 
in Signal Processing, IEEE Journal of, 2007, 1, 618-632

I am trying to find other examples of the use of this kind of quantizer 
model.
Best regards,
