But basically I agree with you: I'm not interested
in automatic
resampling (except perhaps as an explicit configuration option), but
I'd love to have it as an option when importing audio.
if you import into Ardour (not link), then thats exactly what happens:
we resample the audio as we write a new audio file that matches the
session sample rate (and uses ardour "native format" (BWF or WAV)).
it does not happen if you use "link" (which is what *some* drag-n-drop
operations do; it depends on the drop location) because the purpose of
using link is to read from a pre-existing sndfile. obviously, we could
theoretically do realtime resampling on such material, but i've already
outlined my problems with doing that.
