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.
