 I resolved the problem using alsa and the oss emulation layer. be sure
 to use the latest alsa, as it contains bug fixes for that kind of
 problems.
 it's better to let the sound driver do that, instead of the
 applications, as it only needs upsampling in one location (the driver)

+The problem is that setting a rate in OSS leads to some funny 
+results. If you try setting the rate to 44100, OSS might actually 
+set it to 44100, 44018, 44787, 47655 or even 22050 Hz. Currently we 
+just accept those instead of using a heuristic to figure out what 
+rate is "good enough" and return an error if it's not.
+
+Add to this that OSS doesn't support good enough querying 
+capabilities - the only way to query a supported format is trying to 
+set it and looking at the result.
+
+Other apps using OSS do query/try to set some list of formats to 
+figure out what's supported btw.
