Uh, Oriyoki, I have read (don't know for a fact) amongst digital
system designers that "throwing away every other sample" is a myth,
and that complex math must be performed for every SRC conversion -
logic might imply you just drop every other sample, but I think the
real digital world does not work that way. I am vague about the
details, but I recall people whom I respect saying it just isn't
simpler, only different math. Do you know factually? Would it be
worth me quoting sources? Is this too far off topic? "Some people
think..." applies to many areas beyond our personal expertises!
(Especially mine.)
