If ALSA does the resampling, it does it for any input sample rate all right.

Well, I never heard it. Therefore, either:

- It never occurred in my setup, although it heavily uses ALSA plugins. A
  conclusion would be that this fear of double-resampling is not based on
  anything real.

- You are exaggerating the accuracy of the average user's ear.
