Do you by chance have pulseaudio installed?  I think it has the ability
to reformat on the fly. It could use ffmpeg which has support for
opus, or soxr which also seems to have support. I don't think alsa does
without a special plugin.

pulseaudio --dump-resample-methods

And maybe the web page is out of date, and mplayer is using the
support in ffmpeg directly.  :-)
