I've just done that and it seems to work OK. I've also added partial
sample rate conversion support: Reader will automatically
compress/expand samples to a power of two multiple of the final sample
rate. That is, assuming the output is going to be 22050 Hz, Reader can
play files at 11025 Hz or 44100 Hz (88200 Hz, etc.). However, if the
file's sample rate isn't one of these (e.g. 12345 Hz), it will sound
crappy (Reader converts the sample rate to the nearest power of two
multiple, so 12345 Hz becomes 22050 Hz).
