I would rather have 4 extra bits of depth *if they're used* than a doubling of the sample rate. Like HDCD tries to do. 44/20 would do me fine; I have some 48/20 stuff and that seems to be about the practical limit I can use here (for bit depth).
I regularly berate Warner, the "sound haters", about their foolishness, for one like 96/16 movie audio tracks instead of the more common 48/24 (they like to use 48/16). If the audio quality isn't good enough to have more than 16 bits of depth, why is it good enough to sample it at double the "normal" rate? That's my thought on it anyway. 96/24 would be nice though, if deserved.
