I have ALSA:iec958 set as my output device in MythTV and MythMusic.
In MythTV it works great, I can get 5.1 SPDIF audio to my receiver.
However, when I try MythMusic, I get:
2005-08-11 21:26:58.103 Opening audio device 'iec958'.
2005-08-11 21:26:58.104 Rate doesn't match (requested 44100Hz, got 48000Hz)
2005-08-11 21:26:58.104 Unable to set ALSA parameters
The funny thing (to me at least), is that alsaplayer works ok with the
same file:
alsaplayer --verbose -d iec958 it.ogg
Anyone have any ideas on the rate mismatch?
Your soundcard (like most--if not all--others) requires 48KHz PCM for
S/PDIF. When you tried to play your song in MythMusic, you chose a file
(like most audio files ripped from CD's, since CD's themselves use
44.1KHz sample rate) that has 44.1KHz sample rate. Therefore, it won't
play through your S/PDIF.
So, you simply need to use the plug plugin to do automatic sample
rate/channel/format conversion. See the DigitalSoundHowTo (
http://mythtv.info/moin.cgi/DigitalSoundHowTo ).
The AlsaPlayer test is an apples/oranges comparison, as AlsaPlayer tries
to be smarter than the user. If you try aplay, on the other hand, it
would be a fair comparison (and will also fail to play the file on the
requested device).
