What?  What's the problem with being able to vary the sample rate on
your "purely digital music system?"  It will be a little more complex
but I don't see any major technical problem with it.  All you need is a
digital pulse generator any you are in business.  The processing of
digital signals at x sample rate is the same as at y sample rate.
