it uses "proper" software resampling from 44.1khz -> 48khz, since the xbox hardware does such a lousy job of it.
currently ssrc is used.
all 44.1khz gets this (non healthy) upsampling treatment, and by doing it ourselves, the quality loss is minimized.

unless you're listening to a lot of lossless audio, you're unlikely to notice much difference. the artefacts introduced by mp3 encoding are far more noticable than upsampling losses.

i'm not so sure of that, ppl report problem with mpeg1/2 clips, where's divx xvid (mpeg4) seems to work just fine.
logic suggest mpeg4 needs more resources for decoding than mpeg1/2

my divx clips skip like mad with hq resample...
also i believe the xbmc video code is more efficient for divx/xvid than mpeg streams.

i'm running the 2004-03-09 version and can't find this setting anywhere.. can someone enlighten me?
also, can the software upsampling be improved further? i play mostly uncompressed wav's and don't like the idea of pooer quality. but i guess i'm just fussy like that.
