Resampling is a destructive change, so save-sound-as
does not resample anything, but it will change sample 
representation (which ideally leaves the data intact) if
you set :data-format to something:
  
  (save-sound-as "gad.snd" :data-format mus-l24int)

If you really want save-sound-as to change the srate, see the 
documentation of before-save-as-hook.  Normally the :srate 
argument simply sets the new sound file header srate field.
