Some early (and possibly current) digital phone systems used 8 bit "companding" to carry voice data. Theory says you need to sample any sound at 2x its frequency to reproduce it, and 2,000 Hz is not a bad upper limit for spoken voice. All that suggests that 8 x 2 x 2000 or 32 kbps should give decent voice quality.
