I use zresample wich comes as an example app with the zita-resampler
library. Apart from resampling it can also change the sample format,
and add dither if the output is 16-bit. It handles any number of
channels.

>/ zresample --help

zresample 1.4.0

Usage: zresample <options> <input file> <output file>.
Options:
   Display this text: --help
   Output file type: --caf, --wav, --amb
   Output sample rate: --rate <sample rate>
   Output sample format: --16bit, --24bit, --float
   Dither type (16 bit): --rec, --tri, --lips
   Add zero padding : --pad
The default output file format is wav, 24-bit, no dithering.
Integer output formats are clipped, float output is not.

Ciao,

Thanks Fons.  Do you have a recommendation for how much headroom to leave
before the conversion, and if you do clip during the conversion is there
any sort of warning?  I used to leave around 1.5 dB.  The way I used to
go about this was to apply all limiting to the 24-bit 48000 kHz track,
then SR convert, then normalize (to ~ -0.3 dB) or set a final level, and
finally dither/quantize.
