Details

We should be using a higher performance format with native support like opus or ogg for audio data. The Clock app currently has: AC_2_note_Retro_Alarm_Clock.mp3 AC_black_plastic_Retro_Alarm_Clock.mp3 AC_buzzy_Retro_Alarm_Clock.mp3 AC_hear_me!_Retro_Alarm_Clock_RAW.mp3 AC_progressive__Retro_Alarm_Clock.mp3 AC_reedy_plastic_Retro_Alarm_Clock.mp3 ALARM_progressive2_dapple.mp3 ALARM_progressive_dapple.mp3 https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/tree/master/apps/clock/style/ringtones
Do we not have WAV versions of these resources? I can transcode from mp3, but that reduces the size savings available.
Depends on: Bug 799190 We don't get the final ringtone yet.
I did some experimental re-encoding last week. The sounds are simple, so it's possible to get very small files, but this requires hand tuning. That's worth doing when we have a final file, but I takes enough time I didn't want to do it for all the candidates.

As a workaround to bug 788204, Rex will convert current alarm sounds to OGG in bug 800651. Let's make this as dup of that since the same action fixes the both bugs.
