The external tool dvd2svcd uses is ssrc, and yes you can get it from doom9's software library(under the full listing of audio tools)

Thanks!

With what options do I have to use ssrc for ultra high quality (like in dvd2svcd) downsampling?

As far as I know dvd2svcd doesnt use any special switches with ssrc anymore(maybe someone can correct me on that). It used twopass in build3 but there is hardly any difference in quality between the two (ie: none), so build 4 didn't use it... The commandline for it is simply:
ssrc in.wav out.wav
in.wav is your source and out.wav is the destination

that will automatically downsample a wave from 48khz to 44.1khz...

all the other selections (ie: ultra high, high....) were done internally and were painfully slow, and didnt give any more quality imho than ssrc does...

btw in the next release 1.0.6b1 will use BeSweet for all the audio stuff(at least thats what the 'Latest Readme' on his site says)...
