That doesn't seem to be the case. That file I asked gosha to download and test didn't appear to work properly either and it is 8000 Hz as well. Coming from a digital recorder which I presume is mostly intended for voice, 44100 Hz would be overkill and create much larger files. This sounds to me like a driver problem where the codec may not be able to handle 8000 Hz. 44100 Hz is popular since that is what audio CDs use and subsequently most ripped mp3s. Running the audio through a sound server like esd or arts might also "fix" things.

I also found an older somewhat relevant thread on the openbsd-ppc mailing list pertaining to this: http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=openbsd...7-11&t=5745835. Depending on which driver is used, it appears resampling might be the best option.
