Ogg Vorbis uses variable bitrate, so it doesn't really have a 22kHz
framerate ;)
Here's how freedink-data works:
- there's a source file (in the src/ directory) which is the best
quality, possibly with sound editor project files, multiple tracks,
etc. In this particular case I think your best file is the .ogg you
sent, but you have a .flac it's even better :)
- the sound is then converted to a format suitable for the game, in
this particular case, 16 bit / mono / 22050Hz / WAV. If it's
encoded differently, the game will play it wrong (too fast or too
slow). You can test by adding the sound in
/usr/local/share/dink/dink/Sound/wscream.wav and see how Chealse
will scream in the game's first village when you hit her ;)
The 2 forms are needed, so that if we need to re-encode in the game
format, we can work from the best-quality source.
