[sdiy] resampling wav files

[Eric Brombaugh]

Richie,

Matlab & Octave have a variety of different ways to do interpolation / 
decimation. The resample() function that I suggested does rational 
resampling - the p & q arguments tell the upsampling and downsampling 
rates with a lowpass antialias FIR filter that's tailored to the p & q 
requirements. There are optional arguments that allow further refinement 
of the filter characteristics, but with the simplest call it's pretty 
close to an optimum sinc interpolation.
