Ecasound never implicitly resamples any audio, so all objects must have
the same sample rate (2.2.0 and newer). If you need to resample, then you
must use the resample audio object:

ecasound -f:16,2,48000 -i 48khz.wav -o resample,44100,44khz.wav

or the other way

ecasound -f:16,2,44100 -i resample,48000,48khz.wav -o 44khz.wav

Unless you compile ecasound with libsamplerate, I recommend using sox
for resampling. Ecasound's own resampler is just a simple linear
interpolator, so the quality is not that good.
