Sampling rate conversion

["artistico7" <>]

Does any one know, what the adverse effects of downsampling a 
recording made at more than 16bit/44.1KHz when resampling for audio 
CD, for instance? 

As long as the resolution is not a multiple of the CD's sampling 
rate - particularly when it comes to the frequency of samples - I 
assume that the quality of resampling might be dependent on the 
algorithm used by the software conducting the conversion?

If there are adverse effects of such downsampling, wouldn't that 
also mean that when recording for CD, a sampling rate of 
16bit/44.1KHz would be the best unless a much higher rate is 
possible to achieve on the recording equipment in question?
