I'm on a little crusade trying to make people aware that there are subtle differences between the different ALSA device selections For example, sometimes "default" is the same as "pulse" which means two processes owned by different users cannot use the "pulse" device as pulseaudio is normally per user. There are other difference which may be masked by LMS and/or squeezelite's ability to transcodeo r resample unless users disable features or override them with command line options. Another example, recently a PC user was using "front:" which seemed to work for any stream but for one stream it didn't. User was using a $5 USB audio adapter which only supports 44.1kHz & 48khz and the stream was 32kHz. Both front and plughw allow more data formats to be played through the USB audio adapter. "front" handles Sampling rate 44100..192000 Hz Sample formats: S16_LE, S32_LE "plughw" handles Sampling rate 4000..4294967295 Hz Sample formats: S8, U8, S16_LE, S16_BE, U16_LE, U16_BE, S24_LE, S24_BE, U24_LE, U24_BE, S32_LE, S32_BE, U32_LE, U32_BE, FLOAT_LE, FLOAT_BE, FLOAT64_LE, FLOAT64_BE, MU_LAW, A_LAW, IMA_ADPCM, S24_3LE, S24_3BE, U24_3LE, U24_3BE, S20_3LE, S20_3BE, U20_3LE, U20_3BE, S18_3LE, S18_3BE, U18_3LE, U18_3BE So playing the 32kHz stream on squeezelite did not work through "front" but did work through "plughw". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112025 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
