How to get 16kHz .wav to play in VLC player at the correct speed?

[Whiffy]

I have wav file i recorded with Wavosaur where I set audio configuration for Audio in 16000

play in VLC player and its slower and lower pitch than it should
play in Sound Recorder accessory its also slower and lower pitch than it should
play in wavosaur and its also slower and lower pitch than it should
but that's cos in audio configuration the audio out needs to set not to the default of 44100 but 16000

How do I get 16000Hz wav file to play in VLC player or the Sound Recorder accessory to play at the correct speed?

Resample it at 44,100. Audacity should be able to do that for you.

Wavosaur also can resample.

I could have decided just to record at 44.1khz but that kind of defeats the purpose - as in to reduce megabytes. I also have an mp3 version also at 16khz but also plays slow.

If i was to upsample or downsample I'd want it to be a multiple of the previous sample eg 16x2=32 or 16x3=48 so as to reduce aliasing.

What would happen if I recorded at 48khz or resampled to 48khz?

Would Audacity have the same problem with VLC player the Sound Recorder accessory?

Now i remmember using the Amiga years ago. If i had a low Hz file say 16khz and then increase its Hz to 24khz it would
sound higher and shorter, yet it is the opposite with Wavosaur (and I'm guessing with perhaps the other two programs)! It doesn't make sense! Can someone explain this?
