I'm searching for a way to resample audio while

quality possible. One possible target would be the 96 --> 44.1
conversion, for obvious reasons, but other ratios are not excluded.
I'm speaking mostly from an "audiophile" perspective; raw numbers are
good ("while using this tool, you preserve such-and-such signal to noise
ratio and such-and-such bandwidth...") but i'd also like to hear about
musical tests, if anyone performed anything like that.
What would be the Linux tools that are supposed to provide the
highest-quality resampling (according to the above definition of
"quality")?
libsamplerate?
There are two aspects to resampling:
a) maximizing signal to noise
b) maximizing passband width
If you can find anything that beats libsamplerate in both of these areas,
I want to know about it.
