Maybe I want to listen to a concert on Blu-ray recorded in 192/24 or how about a multichannel audio-only release of an album? The potential is there, and Dolby has limited TrueHD to only 96/24 in the spec, for whatever their reasons.

These days almost all soundtracks are digitally created. You either downsample/downcovert, or upsample and upconvert to whatever resolution you choose. Music is all over the place with some engineers recording in analog, mixing and mastering in analog, and then converting to digital, or just recording in hi rez digital, and downconverting to any format including analog.
