Check the replies. I have definitely noticed longer soundfiles having 
lower quality when designing ParticleChamber, for example. Newer 
versions of this (unreleased so far, too many bugs...) allowed pitch 
shifting, which is where I noticed the artifacts. Longer soundfiles 
started to sound more "grainy" than shorter ones when played back in 
whole or in part at other-than-recorded sample rates.
