As far as I know this is just a default and has nothing at all to do with what the hardware supports, it's just a value in a config file. > Anything played through dmix will be > resampled to 48000 Hz. mplayer2 could feed data to ALSA at 44100 Hz if > it left ALSA resampling enabled, but the only difference that would make > is that the resampling would happen on the ALSA side rather than on the > mplayer2 side. I know, and as far as I understand the default resampling of dmix is worse quality than what mplayer uses. And I don't really care where the resampling happens, but it really should only be done when the hardware doesn't support the sample rate. > There's no way hardware would support everything in the 4000-4294967295 > range.

The values reported for the hw device, "44100 48000 96000 > 192000", are the ones your hardware can actually play without > resampling.

I know all this. That doesn't mean things can't be improved. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
