Feature description
I made many recordings with Opus and 320 kbps, and realized they all sound high pitched (and a bit fast). Importing to Audacity and changing the sample rate to 44.1 fixes the problem.
Every audio player I've tried including the Simple Voice Recorder's playback of any recorded files sounds high-pitched.
It seems that the Ogg encoder the player uses encodes (or marks) the files as 48 kHz whereas they are being exported as 44.1 kHz.
The M4A setting does not have this problem, but I like Opus and very happy to see this program supports it.
Why do you want this feature?
As I liked opus
Additional information
This should be designed in a way that doesn't cause a dependancy issue for resampling in the future

Just noticed this bug personally, and realized the issue immediately (Opus doesn't encode at 44.1 kHz, but the input was recorded at that rate and not resampled to 48 kHz—see the Opus FAQ). Kind of disappointed that the Opus support exists with this kind of bug present, especially since the app is otherwise pretty nice...
(BTW, for the OP: there's no need to use a bit rate that high with Opus. 128 kbps is basically transparent for stereo sound, and I dunno if the average phone mic is even worth burning that much on. If you're only concerned with voice reproduction, you could go much lower if you wanted.)
Ran in to this problem too. Took some voice notes and they played back high pitched. The program cuts off seconds at the end it shouldn't as well. (10 second session = 4 second recording, and not even correctly recorded.)
Had to switch to M4A to get good sound but that still cuts off the tail. Switched to another program entirely.
