I just finished my little test.
*Description of test*
I used LAME 3.97b2, using these commandlines:
-V2 --vbr-new --resample 48000
-V2 --vbr-new
-V2 --vbr-new --resample 32000
-V2 --vbr-new --resample 24000
-V2 --vbr-new --resample 22050
-V2 --vbr-new --resample 16000
-V2 --vbr-new --resample 11025
-V2 --vbr-new --resample 8000
This gave me an MP3 at each possible sampling rate - 48kHz, 44.1kHz,
32kHz, 24kHz, 22.05kHz, 16kHz, 11.025kHz and 8kHz. I loaded all of these
onto my Creative Zen Micro (manufactured 2005, with the firmware version
2.21.02 installed) using the provided "MediaSource Organizer" software.
*Test results*
Surprisingly, every sampling rate played properly *except for one* -
11.025kHz. That's right - everything from 48kHz on down to 16kHz played
properly, and so did 8kHz, but *not* 11.025kHz, for some reason.
The 11.025kHz file *did* play, but in slow motion.
