I think you can put the system-bitrate attribute directly on the <audio>
element and avoid all the <par> elements since they only contain a single
element.
<switch>
<audio src="filename_dual_isdn.rm" system-bitrate="64000"/>
<audio src="filename_56k.rm" system-bitrate="32000"/>
<audio src="filename_28k.rm" system-bitrate="20000"/>
</switch>

If you are linking to the SMIL file directly from a web browser, then
relative links won't work (they will be relative to the temp directory the
browser downloads the SMIL file to). Use a RAM file to point to the SMIL
file and point the browser at the RAM.
