Note that (44.1/8) * 58.4 = 322 (approx.).
The idea that the file had originally been sampled at 44.1kHz and had a bad wav header identifying it as 8kHz never made sense to me because it didn't fit the originally described symptom. If such a file were played at the 8kHz instructed by a faulty wav header, then it would sound
too slow (think: anti-chipmunk [apologies to David Seville]
) rather than too fast.

I have quite a lot of files I would like to convert and be able to listen to anywhere.
How should I resample the files? I've read the man page of mplayer, but the relevant parts (option -af and resample) are a bit cryptic to me.

You could take a look at the sox package (the name stands for SOund eXchange). It is a very useful command-line utility that deals only with sound. I find the option syntax much less cryptic and faster to understand than mplayer. It can convert between audio files of different types, re-sample, play, record and many other things.
