Please make sure the Ogg Vorbis file is the new one. And remove WAV file.

If the WAV is the new one, get rid of the old Vorbis file (rename, remove, 
move to another dir, whatever) and encode the WAV into Ogg Vorbis.

The WAV files in kdebase now account for 1.8 MB. Bzip2 compression gives 1.4 
MB.

Compressing at Quality 8 gives 490 kB. Compressed with bzip2 that's 370 kB in 
the final packages.

The original WAVs or FLAC should be kept in another place.

For reference: the total uncompressed size of kdebase is 100 MB. Compressed, 
it's 7 MB. The WAVs are 1.8% of the uncompressed size, but take up 20% of the 
tarball.
