           Summary: [PLUGIN-MOVE] Move speexresample as audioresample2 to -
                    base

IMHO we should get speexresample into -base and renamed to audioresample2 for
the next release. There is a bug to be solved before (bug #508029) but
afterwards I see no reason not to do it...

Reasons for this are:
- speexresample already does lowpassing for downsampling, adding this to
audioresample is more work than necessary IMHO (bug #346218)
- speexresample is 3-10 times faster than audioresample while theoretically
providing better quality (bug #385061)
- speexresample supports rate conversion with a factor > 2 (bug #116051)

We can't simply exchange the plugins because audioresample has a filter-length
parameter while speexresample has a quality parameter (which adjusts the filter
length among other things)
