As far as I understand, re-sampling and re-quantizing are not trivial 
operations in the general case, or am I mistaken?

For example, converting from signed 16-bits samples @ 48 kHz to [-1,1] 
float samples @ 44.1 kHz

Several "buzz words" spring to mind, such as interpolation, dithering, 
anti-aliasing, noise shaping, etc.

Anyway, it sounds ;-) like an interesting project. I'd like to look into it.
