Comment (by slhck):

 Okay, I understand now, thanks. Of course it makes sense to avoid
 unnecessary resampling. But seeing that multiple users are confused by
 this, and that it leads to unplayable files, there should be at least a
 sentence in the documentation saying:

 “To accurately detect true peaks, the audio stream will be upsampled to
 192 kHz.”

 One might even consider printing a warning, since no other filter that I
 know of will adjust the sample format or stream properties without
 explcitly informing the user (e.g., frame rate, pixel size, …):

 “Warning: Audio sample rate was automatically changed to 192 kHz.”
