Well, it's a spurious sample in an otherwise quiet section, each time 
the same value, not a discontinuity because of a buffer under- or 
overrun. Yeah, looks very much like a clocking issue. But the OP says it 
appears during import with resampling.

FWIW, Patrick, it does show up in the waveform very clearly here.

I haven't seen this on Linux, ever, and I routinely upsample snippets 
taken from CD to 48k because that is my studio clock standard.
Looks like it's a bug. I don't see how any user error, not even a clock 
misconfiguration, could explain this behaviour during import.
