Description

If the predecessor Vorbis supports up to 200 kHz, why doesn't Opus?

Even if 48 kHz sampling is more than enough for human hearing, higher frequencies could be useful for things like dog whistles.

Also, 96 kHz might improve the clarity of high tones since there are more samples available per tone.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating where Opus sampling rates are constrained and reviewing the codec's supported-rate assumptions; done would require a defined, tested approach for rates above 48 kHz.
