It could make sense and I went this path originaly but reverted to wav.
The problem is that ogg is too slow to start decoding. It means that
it's not appropriate for sound effects. For example, in previous
versions of GCompris, the sound feedback on a menu click was not in sync
with the user event. We fixed ogg files to use 44100 Hz, I am ok to
apply the same rule to our wav files.
