Why's that? It would seem that playing a sound recorded at 88.2 at half 
speed would essentially give you a sample rate of 44.1 without 
interpolation. It would sound better than playing a 44.1 file at half 
speed, essentially giving you a SR of 22.05, no?

I was thinking the same thing as Tim at least.
