I believe ffmpeg-devel is the best place.

The usual way is not to convert anything: if the provided data is not in the
required format, fail with a clear error message and let the user (or the
application) fix it the way they see fit:

$ ffmpeg -f s16le -ar 47000 -i /dev/zero -f alsa hw:1
...
[alsa @ 0x1c84de0] cannot set channel count to 1 (Invalid argument)
[alsa @ 0x1c84de0] sample rate 47000 not available, nearest is 48000

The configure script has plenty of support, this should be easy.
