Sample rate conversion is not that difficult: when done by a FIR filter
the filter coefficients have to be calculated for the 7.056 MHz sampling
frequency. But fortunately, 146 out of 147 input samples (at 7.056 MHz) are
0 for 48 kHz input, and 159 out of 160 output samples don't have to be
calculated. These two facts together make the computing power requirements
reasonable for sampling rate converters. More difficult, however, is the
calculation of about 10000 filter coefficients for a high quality sampling
rate converter.
