Yes. That particular transcoding step is just resampling, and it should
produce exactly half as many samples as were input (unless an odd number
were input, of course).

That's somewhat illogical; all paths to 8Khz codecs should go through
the same resampling step first, then into the codec. If there are
samples being dropped during resampling, it should occur for all of them.
