Aaron, Kamil and others,
you reported about resampling problems in July this year. I think the
below snapshot finally fixes the problems you described. Especially the
96kHz-->44.1kHz conversion was affected by this bug.
Btw; -ei:xxx also uses libsamplerate if available. You can test multiple
ratios in one go by issuing:
sh> ecasound -i foo.wav -o alsa -ei:100 -kos:1,50,250,0.05 -c
Quick list of all changes in this snapshot:
--cut--
- added: resample-lq (low-quality) audio object to force using
the internal resampler even though support for
libsamplerate is enabled at build time
- changed: more helpful messages to explain why a chainsetup
cannot be connected to the engine
- fixed: serious bugs in resampling between 96000 and 44100/48000
rates when using libsamplerate; upgraded Ecasound to use
the libsamplerate 'full API'
--cut--

thank you for pointing this out to me -- this was indeed causing problems.
If anyone wants to help in testing, please try the snapshot at:
http://ecasound.seul.org/download/snapshots/ecasound-2.3.6-cvs-20041221.tar.gz
# the basic syntax is:
ecasound -f:16,2,44100 -i resample,auto,foo96khz.wav -o alsa
# with samplerate's 'SRC_SINC_BEST_QUALITY' quality
ecasound -f:16,2,44100 -i resample-hq,auto,foo96khz.wav -o alsa
Where 16(bit), 2(ch) and 44100(Hz) are the target audio parameters. This
should work with any ALSA/OSS, JACK, wav/aiff, ogg/mp3/flac/etc output.
