Apart from the sampling frequency, the other parameter is the digital encoding of each sample including the number of bits used. The encoding may be linear, logarithmic or mu-law.

Digital telephone systems use lower sample rates. See also Audio IFF, MP3, wav. A FAQ on audio file formats is available. Part 1, Part 2.
