sample rates in audio

[Sivakatirswami]

Theoretical only...

on recordSound
   set the recordsamplesize to 16
   set the recordrate  to 2.5
   set the recordformat to "wave"
   record sound file gAudioTestPath
end recordSound


Doesn't do anything... movie props still   show 16 bit, 8 kHz... and  
files is exactly the same as

on recordSound
   set the recordsamplesize to 11
   set the recordrate  to 5
   set the recordformat to "wave"
   record sound file gAudioTestPath
end recordSound

on recordSound
   set the recordsamplesize to 16
   set the recordrate  to 8
   set the recordformat to "wave"
   record sound file gAudioTestPath
end recordSound


each of the above delivers the same size file, quality and movie  
props in QT pro

I don't get anything decent with 8 bit at all.
