Not only does it handle it fine: but most players will downsample the 96k
audio for playback on non 96k able hardware. (24bittage isn't an issue as
Vorbis is 24bit internally, thus all players will produce good output from
24 bit input).  Ogg123 and Xmms are about the only players on any
platforms that I could find which would not downsample.

The current modes are not really tuned for 96k operation, and are thus a
little suboptimal (larger blocks would be a good idea).

I suspect that the portable players will barf all over your pretty 96k
file.
