Can you give me more information? Which version of Alsa? Which kernel? Does it always work (you don't have the problem described in http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg09192.html)? Does the S/PDIF digital output work? > slight exception that I cannot watch any movies with sound over the > audiophile since there seems to be a problem somehow between my setup and > mplayer...do not know if that is a real bug, or just me... ;-) I have the same program with 48kHz sound with mplayer 1.0pre3-3.3.3. I get xruns. I don't have any problems with 44.1kHz sound. I'm using plughw:1 (thanks Takashi). Plughw converts from little to big endian. I wonder if it is also resampling (in software) from 48kHz to 44.1kHz. I suspect that Alsa is using a 44.1kHz interface and resampling in software. Does anyone know show to define a plug that _only_ changes from little to big endian (and that doesn't resample under any conditions)? > The thing with the Audiophile USB is that, out of whatever reason, the > audiophile needs the sound samples in big endian.

My M-Audio Audiophile USB stops working after some hours. The application (pytone) continues but there is no more sound (perhaps it doesn't check for errors). When I exit pytone and retry alsaplayer I get: % alsaplayer --verbose -d plughw:1 test.wav AlsaPlayer 0.99.75 (C) 1999-2003 Andy Lo A Foe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others.
