There won't necessarily be degradation based on the
sample rate, but you may have phase cancellations that
may cause the mixed files to sound lifeless.

Try starting off with high quality stereo files,
convert sample rate to 48k/32bit (you may need a prgm
like cooledit pro), merge the two files, then convert
sample rate to 44k/16bit.  I've found that the texture
of the material sound much smoother when it's
upsampled then returned to CD quality rate.  It's also
preferred to be at the highest sample rate possible
when editing audio files.  (the price you pay: more
hard drive space is used while at the higher sample
rates & it may take more time to edit).

Hope this helps.
