G.722 is the famous example.

Opus can always be decoded at 48 kHz, regardless of what the other side 
is doing. The audio bandwidth can change on a packet-by-packet basis as 
bitrate changes, but that doesn't mean the decoder has to change the 
sampling rate it's using. Generally, you should always decode at 48 kHz 
absent knowledge of limitations of your playback device or of the 
capture device on the other side.
