Prevent unwanted sample rate upsampling when using ffmpeg loudnorm filter. Use when: (1) ffmpeg loudnorm increases file size 10x, (2) audio upsampled from 24kHz to 192kHz, (3) want to normalize audio while preserving original sample rate. The loudnorm filter defaults to input stream's sample rate which can cause unexpected upsampling if streams have different rates.
