MythMusic 0.17: when playing back mp3's (LAME-encoded, alt-preset-standard) the playback speed is noticeably too fast, but strangely no other distortion (e.g. no pitch shift). A side-effect is that tracks also finish early, e.g. a 4:47 track finishes at about 4:28. I'm using ALSA output to SPDIF on an EPIA M10K/FC3 system.
Just a followup on this.
It turns out I maligned mythmusic when in fact it was an issue with the SPDIF output. SPDIF needs a sample rate of 48KHz, while mythmusic, mplayer, etc output 44.1KHz from most music sources, since this is their native rate. Using "-srate 48000" fixed mplayer. To fix mythmusic I needed to add the following to /etc/asound.conf and tell mythmusic to use "ALSA:rate_convert" as the device.
pcm_slave.test
{
pcm "spdif"
rate 48000
} pcm.rate_convert
{
type rate
slave test
}I'm sure there's a much better way to do this in general, in particular by using the advice at http://www.mythtv.info/moin.cgi/DigitalSoundHowTo and adapting it from the nforce example to the VIA 8236 chipset on my board.
Does anyone already have such a beast for the VIA?
Matt.
