You have that option always. Decode it user flac decoder to wave file, then downsample it. You could encode it back to mp3/ogg etc. There are many programs to do downsampling. I think even the lame/oggenc support downsampling. Otherwise install the package "samplerate-programs" and sndfile-resample -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
