You can rescale the timestamps by 441/440 :-)
More serious: You need a huge set of fir coefficients, namely 147*l
or 160*l for the 44.1 <-> 48 case, where l is 128 if i remember correctly.
You can allow this be changing a few #defines and adapt the rate ratio test.

I assumed that large arrays in libaries are inapropiate,
so I compromised this.
