i'll answer for my case: i have a (high quality) audio interface which has an s/pdif input that accepts a fixed sampling rate only. i use hifiberry digi+ to feed that. so i have no option for 'bit-perfect' playback, i need to resample.
i admit that this is maybe not the most common situation. so editing config files is totally ok for me -- if the info can be found. (i did it for mpd, which works fine. i still have not been able to make it work for shairplay playback though, could not find the info)
