Since a while I noticed that the wind sound is much too much pitched up
for my taste. And indeed, wind.wav has been sampled at 22kHz:

  $ file wind.wav
  wind.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 8 bit, mono 
22050 Hz

Has this ever been considered? I don't think so. (I remember that I changed
the wind pitch in the bo105 sound config, but this would then only be an ugly
workaround.) Is our wind sound still waiting for a proper fix (resampling or
changing all sound configs)? Or is anyone else happy with it!?
