That could be it. I'll dig around and see. Can mplayer resample?

So that is what those numbers (roughly) indicate!

Ok, so I can at least show a proof of concept to my friend, is it 
possible to decode to a raw file and then play that back? I don't want 
to reencode to another format for quality issues, but I expected two new 
chunks of code to be unoptimized speed wise.

Thanks for your help! At least now I know where to start looking in the 
documentation!!
