[grc] Audio file format problem driving me out of my mind

[Frieda Werden]

You can change the sample rate to the correct one in your audio editing
software.  I often get files from contributing producers that are at
48mHz.  The trick I use is to first open a segment that is at the correct
rate in Audacity and next import the segment that is at the wrong rate.
When I then select the offending segment and export it, it comes out at
44mHz.
