linear interpolation between two consecutive samples, like vlc
currently does, does introduce audio artefacts. If you have a good
track to put that in evidence, I'd like to get it :)

The solution would be to use a sinc-shaped interpolation curve. See

Of course I think I'm right. If I thought I was wrong, I'd change my mind.
