Interesting. I should test that.
Do you think that it can also happen when downsampling (for example
playing 96Khz wav files)?
It all stands and falls with the algorithm used for the resampling which is in
fact interpolation. That not hard to get right, at least for audio we are
talking here. But one can also ruin it quite badly when making it to easy or
when giving not enough thought into it.
So, yes, it can happen. And with ac97 or intel "high" definition I think
anything is possible as long as the vendors see a monetary benefit... that is
cheaper processing/algorithms for more profit.
