I've a Legato II (USB to SPDIF converter). I've it plugged into my Cubox and when I do a "squeezelite -l", I see the following:
default:CARD=Legato - Legato, USB Audio - Default Audio Device sysdefault:CARD=Legato - Legato, USB Audio - Default Audio Device front:CARD=Legato,DEV=0 - Legato, USB Audio - Front speakers surround40:CARD=Legato,DEV=0 - Legato, USB Audio - 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=Legato,DEV=0 - Legato, USB Audio - 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=Legato,DEV=0 - Legato, USB Audio - 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=Legato,DEV=0 - Legato, USB Audio - 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=Legato,DEV=0 - Legato, USB Audio - 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=Legato,DEV=0 - Legato, USB Audio - IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output dmix:CARD=Legato,DEV=0 - Legato, USB Audio - Direct sample mixing device dsnoop:CARD=Legato,DEV=0 - Legato, USB Audio - Direct sample snooping device hw:CARD=Legato,DEV=0 - Legato, USB Audio - Direct hardware device without any conversions plughw:CARD=Legato,DEV=0 - Legato, USB Audio - Hardware device with all software conversions My first question is, why am I getting so many different output device options? Who is providing all these options? ALSA? I mostly use the output hw and plughw. When comparing the sound on playing CD rips, I found that the hw connection sounds a lot better, with a lot more details in the music. So my second question is, is it possible to do sample rate conversion when the sample rate of the music file does not match the capability of the player? In my case, my player only does 44.1. So if I play CD rips, it should go straight thru' without conversion, but if I play 24/96, I want it to down sample to 44.1 so I can still listen to the music. If the conversion is initiated in squeezelite, I want to see the above enhancement in the code. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kuro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
