I haven't yet convinced myself it's necessary.
Er, I don't think that's correct. You have to do all the altialiasing and should use a decent resampling algorithm regardless of wether there is an integral ratio or not. The sinc resampler is no simpler for integral ratios. If you use a cheap decimator to go from 88.2 to 44.1 your quality will suffer. - Steve
