Yeah, I know!  It wasnt clear from the question (and without any 
knowledge of lavc) whether that was what you meant or not!

Hey, steady on.  You are talking to a chap who is implementing a whole 
digital room correction setup.  I have octave burning hot here doing 
computation of correction curves.

For sure I am not a DSP guru, but I do understand enough to get by.  I 
certainly understand a high order brickwall filter.

Look, you obviously know this code and lavc a lot better than I do.  My 
requirements are for a high end resampler, and I otherwise love mplayer 
(since it operates very nicely using only a remote control).  For 
technical reasons the whole thing is locked at 44100Khz, and so I need 
access to a *high quality* resampler, and my first thoughts are that the 
high quality option in mplayer is still audibly lower quality than I 
would like (subjective).  So if you can start me off in the right 
direction then I would be more than happy to help put in an "ultra high 
quality" option for the nutcases like me who aren't satisfied with what 
we have already.

This isn't a feature request.  As you can perhaps see I have already 
fixed up the Jack and alsa audio output code for my needs (also in other 
media players).  I am happy to write the code, I just need a few 
pointers as to what is acceptable for inclusion to CVS.

Thanks
