[CM] Resampling in SND

[e deleflie]

I have to admit that I am stumped by src-sound .... I cant for the
life of me work out how to resample a file from 48000 to 44100 ....
I've read the documentation a dozen times, but I still dont understand
what is expected from the parameters.

src-sound (num-or-env :optional base snd chn edpos)

The documentation says "The argument 'num-or-env' can be either a
number or an envelope. In the latter case, 'base' sets the segment
base ...."

It is never stated what the first case ('num') is supposed to
represent. I've tried putting 44100 ... assuming that 'num' is
supposed to be the new sample rate. But this gives clearly incorrect
results.

Also, what is meant by the segment base?

Are there any examples anywhere?
