redpen686 posted modified sounds to gaim-devel:
"The tones were sampled at 44.1 KHz (with a range of up to 22.05 KHz),
which is fine, but since the tones are only up to ~3 to 4 KHz, a lot of
space could be saved by downsampling.
I went to 11,025 Hz, since it is already enough for these frequencies,
and it's also the lowest common denominator for soundcards (rather than
8 or 16 KHz, for example).
The 'alert' sound needed a lowpass filter, but only because of the
high-pitched attack, which people won't notice anyway.
All are still 16-bit, and in stereo (except for the 'alert' sound, which
didn't need it), and so should sound virtually identical."
These are significantly smaller files and I didn't notice a difference in
the sound (of course, my speakers suck). They're also louder, which is good.
I'm committing these so people can try them out.
