In general, SPDIF inputs do not resample, and if you try to record with the wrong sample rate, the result has the original sample rate and is just labelled wrong. And in practice, everybody uses 48 kHz. > According to the CM106 datasheet, one can read the SPDIF-In sample > rate from SPDFI_FREQ bits (8~7 of register 03). > What is the correct way to do so? Can ALSA read those register bits? In theory, this would be possible. > Does ALSA provide any general interface for the userspace applications > that indicates the SPDIF source sample rate? Yes, but the USB audio driver does not implement it because the USB audio specification does not define such an interface between the driver and the device. > Should I attempt to communicate with the hardware with libusb, or can > I do it with ALSA only? At the moment, you have to write the code yourself. But if you've tested it, we would be interested in integrating it into the kernel driver.
