I think I was a bit too quick with my answer! :)

Well, at least in Audacity, when you open the wav file, you get in the left
hand side a box with info like file name, sound quality, sample rate etc. On
top of that box there is a drop-down list where you can set different
parameters. I changed the 'Set Rate' entry to 16000Hz from 8000 Hz and
indeed works fine.

Hope the above description will be of a help to other users as well.

Thanks

Tony
