I'm trying to upgrade my program to the latest version of Bass (version 2.4.9 from 2.4.8 ) and noticed that BASS_MIXER_FILTER is no longer declared in the header file and has been "superseded by BASS_ATTRIB_SRC".

I was using BASS_MIXER_FILTER on a decode stream and I see now that BASS_ATTRIB_SRC has no effect on decode streams.

Did/Does BASS_MIXER_FILTER have an effect on decode streams? If so, is there an equivalent way of improving the decode stream's resample quality using version 2.4.9?

Yes, BASS_MIXER_FILTER did have effect on decoding channels. Mixer sources need be decoding channels, so it had to

The new BASS_ATTRIB_SRC attribute applies to decoding channels in the same way as the BASS_ATTRIB_FREQ/PAN/VOL attributes. BASS won't apply any processing for those attributes itself on decoding channels, but BASSmix will read the settings and apply them when generating mixer output. Here's an example of setting a mixer source's SRC quality...

source=BASS_StreamCreateFile(FALSE, filename, 0, 0, BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT|BASS_STREAM_DECODE); // create a decoding channel from a file
BASS_ChannelSetAttribute(source, BASS_ATTRIB_SRC, quality); // set its SRC quality
BASS_Mixer_StreamAddChannel(mixer, source, 0); // plug it into a mixer
