Hi Günter,
I think this is at least worth a wishlist bug against jackd, because jackd should tell us that it can't do the samplerate we asked for.
I agree, at the moment it's confusing for people who have this type of sound chipset, and it seems these are very common now. Jack already prints a message when it cannot provide the 32-bit interface the user requests, falling back to 24, then 16 bit. So it makes sense to provide a similar sort of error message for sample rate.

accepts a -r 2000000 without a complaint.
That does seem a little crazy :-)
Also, I wonder why the oss driver seemed to work.
According to Takashi, because the OSS backend resamples by default. This is the most appropriate behaviour for consumer-type sound applications. For example, if your browser plays a Flash animation with a 22kHz soundtrack directly to a 48kHz interface, the sound is raised in pitch accordingly.
Thanks for your help closing this bug :-) Cheers! Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
