Eric, I'm talking bandwidth, not sampling rates.  Maybe an engineer here
can remind me of the formula, but audio bandwidth is something like
slightly-less-than-half the sampling frequency.  If the Boomerang samples
at 16k and 8k, your audio will be around 7k/3.5k, suitable for looping
ukelele in my book.  Be sure to use one of those thick felt picks.
