Yeah, I remember you wrote something like that once. But you should write
it into the documentation as well, and include a note that it is not 
implemented efficiently.

Actually, the best is probably if you just remove the linear resampler 
all together if you are not willing to implement it properly. It is 
very irritating spending lots of time figuring out why things are so slow.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your work very much, but this 
particular issue is irritating. There are situations where linear 
resampling is useful, for example when resampling xx sounds at once.
