[vorbis] 24/96 ?

[MARK JAMES HETHERINGTON]

This sampling issue mentioned below is the only reason I can see 96Khz 
sampling being useful. But keep in mind that this only occurs when the 
waveform is very close to a multiple of 44.1Khz, so really only above 
20Khz are affected greatly. Most people can't hear above 16Khz anyway, 
and I think you only really need to allow up to 20Khz. 22Khz is a 
stretch for most peoples ears. 96Khz takes us into the realm of 
overkill, but it would garauntee you can't hear "better than" the 
recording. Does vorbis do 96Khz?
