 Some years back, a group of people on the newsgroup ran some
 experiments to determine the "best" sampling rate for audio books.
 The final result was 64 kbps sample rate with a 44 Khz filter Momo
 sounded good for virtually all books. Tthe other factors addressed
 were:
 1) No clipping. Clipped audio sounds pretty bad.
 2) No audio enhancements. Dynamic range expansion makes audio hard to
 listen to. Crank up volume for low passages and  get Blasted on loud
 ones. Any enhancements which cut the last syllable of a word can make
 listening unpleasant.
