Squeeze Player uses the Android NDK to do it's decoding and resampling in native code, hence it's able to run faster on pre Android 5.0 devices. Using the NDK gives you speed but not every class of Android device supports the NDK. I wanted SB Player to support as many devices as possible, which is why I initially chose not to use the NDK.
Android 5.0 and above precompiles apps into native code on install, so using the NDK for speed is no longer necessary except for extreme cases. I think the Raspberry Pi version of LMS does not support resampling by default, but I'm pretty sure that it is possible to make it support resampling though it might take some work.
