Oh, this makes much more sense.

I will have to think about this to figure out how to do it, but the
hint is very helpful, thanks.

It occurs to me, they could have used PLL's rather than filters?  Maybe
the same thing can be done in software using on-chip timers as "VCO"'s.
I.e. rather than sample at a regular rate, adjust the sample rate using
a "phase detector".  That may get rid of all the multiplication.

Of course there will always be uses for more speed, but slow is fine for
getting started ;-).

Per Richard Owlett's suggestion I just looked at some articles about
microcomputer audio cassette formats (e.g. Kansas City Standard).  They
seemed to rely on external hardware (analog electronics I guess).
