[opus] Question on opus_decoder output sampling rate

Hi Dragos, thank you for your information, I noticed that with 44.1k
greatest common factor is very high, 300 with 48k.


However do you think that we should expect that resampling would require
more CPU then the Opus encoder for Silk for example ?

OR can we expect some alternate solution/improvement/tuning.
