I think that distributing prompts with more that 8 kHz sample rate is 
pointless, since we are dealing with phone systems here and they are 
99.999% 8 kHz or less. And at 8 kHz even signed linear is not 
prohibitive large for download. For those who need better quality for 
whatever reasons, Digium can probably consider distributing high-quality 
prompts as a separate package.
