Hi,


I'm using the following:
      IBM T40 laptop
      Digigram VXPocket v2
      RedHat 9
      Kernel 2.4.22-ac4
      ALSA drivers 0.9.8
      vxloader 0.9.7-i686

Measurement gear
      Audio Precision System Two Cascade
      PrismSound DSA-1


Some of my other gear is having difficulties locking to the S/PDIF output of the card at 44.1 kHz and I have a suspicion as to why this is happening...

I have control over the sampling rate of the S/PDIF output of the card as I
would expect, however...

In the S/PDIF Channel Status Block information there is a portion of Byte 3
that is used to send the intended sampling rate (selectable between three
values, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, depending on the arrangement of bits
0-3 in Byte 3. For specific information on this, please see Application
Note AN22REV2 from www.crystal.com). It is also possible, using bit 0 of
Byte 0, to indicate whether the signal is Professional or Consumer format.

Using my present configuration, I do not appear to have control over either
of these two variables. For example, even when I am sending a 44.1 kHz
signal at a rate of 44.1 kHz (or close enough... it's actually 44.0993, -17
ppm) Byte 3 of the Channel Status Block is saying that the signal is a 48
kHz transmission.

Are the VXPocket drivers in ALSA capable of changing these values in the
card? The official drivers for Mac OSX allow me to change the Pro/Consumer
flag using an application, and the sampling rate indicator changes
automatically with the actual sampling rate of the card's output.

Cheers
-geoff

Apparently upon the beginning of the barrage, the donkey broke discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street. Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before the arrival of U.S. troops.
