I've done some testing and for resampling 8 seconds of float data
from 96kHz to 44.1kHz I measured the following times:
Speex resampler : 0m2.644s
SRC fastest Sinc : 0m0.562s
SRC medium Sinc : 0m1.124s
SRC best Sinc : 0m3.773s
For SRC I used sndfile-resample which is distributed with the SRC source
code. To test speex, I replaced calls to SRC in sndfile-resample.c with
calls to the speex resampler.
The speex resampler also doesn't match SRC fastest in terms of quality.
I've got some preliminary spectrograms here:

An explanation of how these plots are generated is here:

I'm still in the process of readying the software that generates these
plots for release.
BTW, the code current in SVN segfaults for me. I'm still using
revision 12455.
Cheers,
Erik
