The version there has not been updated for quite some time. Fedora
includes it as a package (probably because CCRMA did). It is merely a
static library.

Asterisk, which seems to dislike the concept of GPLed libraries, decided
to use it and (as it must use a PIC library for its dynamically-loaded
module) made a few minimal changes in:

  http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/thirdparty/libresample/trunk/

It is needed for building codec_resample and app_jack.

A copy of it is included in audacity, but not actually used
(The system copy of libsamplerate is used instead).
